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

Oh Rama-Paaduka! Even as Vasishta performed the Abhishekam

for You, who are respected all over the worlds, placing You

in a gem-studded throne, You had perhaps caused the 'abhisheka,'

of the breasts with tears of grief in the case of the queens of

Ravana.

 

Namo Narayana,

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan(V.S):

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

 

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

Oh Raama PaadhukE ! At the same moment ,

when Sage VasishtA seated You on the throne of

the Raghus and conducted Your abhishEkam (coronation

bath) , there started another bath in the harem of

RaavaNA . That bath consisted of the bathing of

the breasts of RaavaNA's wives with their copious tears

about their fate.

 

2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! At the same time,

when Sage VasishtA performed Your pattAbhishEkam , You

ordered the wives of RaavaNA to commence their weeping

over their forthcoming misfortunes. The inner meaning

is that the dhurvritthis ( bad behaviors ) of the IndhriyAs

died , when Swamy NammAzhwAr incarnated on this earth.

 

3) Swamy Desikan salutes the Raama Paadhukais affectionately

as : " Akhila bhuvana maanyAm " ( the most revered one in

all the worlds). He says further that the Paadhukais gave

the order( anvamamstha:) for the wives of RaavaNA (Dasamukha-

mahishIbhi:) to commence drenching/bathing (abhishEkthum)

their two breasts (sthana yugam)with their tears at the same

time , they (the Paadhukais) had the coronation bath ...V.S
