Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

753. shEShathvamamba! yadhi samshrayathi prakAmam
thvadhBhUmikAm samaDhigamya BhujangarAja:
thvAmEva BhakthivinathaIrvahathAm shirOBhi:
kAShtAm gatham thadhiha kEshavapAdharakshE!

Oh Mother Paaduka! Adisesha (notwithstanding his services such as 
being the couch) reaches the pinnacle of Seshatva (the acme of 
servitude) only on taking Your form. And those who bend and receive 
You on their heads attain the very extreme previlege of Seshatva-by 
Your grace!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 753

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Mother ! Oh Keasava
PaadhukE! The king of serpents , AdhisEsha attained
the form of the Paadhukais of the Lord and gained
the supreme status of Seshathvam thereby. Others could not
come near that exalted status through their services to
Your Lord. That is why every one wears AdhisEshA in the form of
PadhukhA on their foreheads. Through this supreme service to
the Lord , AdhisEshA attained not only the Supreme rank as
SeshA to the Lord (Seshin) but also confers on others
such a status and gives them Seshathvam.

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PadhukE! AdhisEshan
carries the entire weight of the Lord on his back.
He attains thus a status of sEshathvam to the Lord.
Those who carry PaadhukA Roopa AdhisEshan on their
heads with devotion attain even greater status as
SeshAs and display a superior level of Seshathvam.
The Kaimkaryam done to AzhwAr-AchArya and the Lord's
BhaagavathAs is superior than even that performed
for the Lord Himself.

3)Oh Kesava PaadharakshE! The king of serpents
attained Your roopam ( Bhujanga Raaja: Thvadh-bhUmikAm
samAdhigamya ) and gained a superior state of service/
liegehood to Your Lord ( prakAmam sEshathvam samsrayathi).
The devotees with heads bent with devotion for you adorn
You on their heads ( Bhakthi-vinathai: sirobhi: ThvAmEva
vahathAm )gain a status that is far superior in service to
Your Lord ( ThvAmEva vahathAm tath sEshathvam kAshtAm
gatham)..(V.S).
