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

prAyO narEndhrAn Bharathasya jEthu: prathApavahnEraBhavan

prarOhA:

 

Oh Raghava-Paaduka! When You are seated ceremoniously on the throne,

the ruby stones from You radiate an array of effulgent beams, which

one would regard as the sprouts of the fire of valour, of Bharata,

which won the kings, by Your grace of course.

 

Namo Narayana,

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S)

SlOkam 868

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Raaghava PaadhukE ! The red rays

of rubies originating from You as You sit on the throne of Raghus

appear like the little flames representing the fire of valor of

BharathA that defeats the enemies of the kingdom of AyOdhyA ruled by

You.

 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh MaNi PaadhukE ! As You sat on the

throne of Raghus, the downward spreading red rays from Your rubies

gave the impression of BhrathA's valour was sprouting all around that

throne.

 

3) Oh Raagava PaadharakshE ! Bharatha is the one , who defeats the

opposing kings of the kingdom of AyOdhyA in the name of the Raama

Paadhukais NarEndhrAn jEthu: Bharatha:). BharathA's valor is like

the tongues of fire ( Bharathasya PrathApa Vahni:) reminding one of

sprouted germs ( PrathApa VahnE : prarOhA iva abhavan ).
