Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:

 

218. BhadhrANi dhevi! jagathAm prathipAdhayiShyan

prAgEva yEna BhavathIm BharathOaBhyaShinchath

manyE kapIshvaraviBhIShaNayOryaThAvath

santhanyathE sma thatha eva kilABhiShEka:

 

I feel, Oh Paaduka Devi! that Bharata rightly performed Your

coronation, as a harbinger of auspices everywhere, since very soon

the festivity was extended to Sugriva and Vibhishana too.

 

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

 

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (VS):

**********************************

 

1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Queen! Oh PaadhukE!

BharathA in his foresight anticipated all the auspiciousness

that is going to descend on this earth and hence performed

quickly Your coronation to set the stage for those welcome

events .Your coronation then led to other coronations ,

such as those of SugrIvA and VibhishaNA that were performed

by Your Lord Himself . AdiyEn assumes that they were extensions

or consequences of Your coronation .

 

2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that

the time in which Sri Naathamuni performed the prathishtai

for Swamy NammAzhwAr was so auspicious that even today ,

the SadhAchArya Paramparai starting from SatAri Soori

flourishes magnificiently.

 

3) This is another SlOkam , where the word (Bhadram)

with deep Vedic connotations is used by Swamy Desikan.

Bharathan anticipated the auspiciousness that would

arise from the coronation of the Jagan MangaLa

dhAyaka Padhukais (JagathAm BhadhrANi prathipAdhayishyan)

and hence hurried and had the coronation ceremonies for

the Paadhukais completed ( prAgEva bhavathIm abhyashincchath).

The rest of the auspicous events followed one by one ,

such as the SugrIva and VibhIshaNa pattaabhishEkams..(VS)
