Dear Sri. Sudarshan,
As regards your exposition on sita's agni-pravEsam#5, I personally
feel Swami Desikan ( as Sri Mani indicated ) does not
specifically refer to 'only' the humans but generically 'everything'
that *lived* (*existed*) and *walked* ( *displaced, progressed, transited
......* )
Your own translation .........
>>"sAketha janapada jani
Dhanika jangama taditara jantu-jAta ...." i.e. the "fortunate ones who were
blessed to have lived in the shadow of Sri.Rama and walked the same
hallowed earth He did",
>>>>
It is rather unfortunate to misinterpret Swami Desikan's verses
as 'undeserving' as it does include 'Everything' .
Regards
Sriram Ranganathan
