You probably meant vandAn vandAn bharatan inmOhanam. It is from the collection of songs in the rAmanATakam of aruNAcalakkavi.

When Rama and Sita return to Ayodhya after rAvaNa vadham and vibhIshaNa paTTAbhiSEkam, they are delayed a bit. Worried that bharata, who’s been living in a cottage outside Ayodhya for the duration of Rama’s vanvAs, will kill himself when he doesn’t get to see Rama at the appointed time, Rama sends hanumAn to whizz ahead to tell bharata that he, Rama, is on his way, and to not enter the fire (hence ‘tIyinil mundAdE’ in the AP - it’s not dIyinil, btw). He sends his signet ring (modiram) as proof that he’s heading bharata’s way.

Wow - so emotional and dramatic- thank you

Why is Gajendran refered to as Maayan?

gajEndiran is not referred to as mAyan.

In the madhyamakAla sAhityam of the first caraNam, hanumAn gives several examples to reassure bharata. He says, “like the mother’s face, when she beholds her child’s face, like the shade that comes to the rescue of a worm in the throes of a heat stroke, like the rain the quenches the burning crop, like vishNu (mAyan) came to protect gajEndra, rAma is on his way (to protect you)”

(You) have forgotten (maRandAi) the words/promises (sol) of your leader (nAyakan); (you) ran around in haste (paRandAi) like (pOl) one possessed (pEyanai) calling out to your brother (aNNA yenRu); (you) have rejected (tuRandAi) your mothers (tAyAraiyum); were you born (idarkkO piRandAi) for heaping (pODa) this blame (pazhi)?

Thank you- hope you can further clarify on below points - sorry for trouble

I suppose leader here is Rama and the words/promises are to protect the rajyam in his absence
Rejected your mothers - didn't quite get this one - is it by giving himself to fire Bharatha is forgetting his duty towards his moms?
Heaping blame - does it mean that if Bharatha perishes in fire - Rama will be blamed by future generations - just like some folks say in pattimandrams that killing of Vaali was not justified as Vaalis conduct may not be acceotable for humans but is permissible for monkeys
