Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

750. prajvalithapanchahEthirhiraNmayIm thvAm hiraNyavilayArha:
Avahathu jAthavEdhA: shriyamiva na: pAdhukE! nithyam

Oh Paaduka! May Agni, of five flames, who will melt gold, called 
Jatavedah, grant us, ever too, the great gift of YOURSELF, (Gold 
Paaduka) as SRI! May the Lord-for whose praise the Vedas were born 
and so who is designated as Jatavedah-who has five-fold armoury, who 
once killed HiraNya (meaning gold) grant us 'Sri' of Paaduka at all 
times! Paaduka is the greatest SRI!

(Agni is said to have seven flames, two of which are in the South and 
North-east, being inauspicious, being of maledictory significance. 
Hence five flames only are reckoned. Also recall Srisookta which 
prescribes praying to Fire to grant gold-coloured Lakshmi. The Vedic 
Trinity is declared immortal Sri. That Sri is also sought, Paaduka 
being equivalent to the Vedas).

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan
