Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

919. rAmapAdhagathA BhAsA sA BhAthA gadhapAmarA
     kAdhupAnancha kAsahyA hyAsa kAnchanapAdhukA

Paaduka, which settled on the Feet of Rama protected by its 
Effulgence, the Devas from all their miseries. That Gold Paaduka was 
dedicated to the Lord by Brahma. It is the protector fo Siva. Its 
dazzling brilliance is unbearable to the sun. (It is unbearable to 
any but who worship it). For conferring all-round wealth and welfare 
on Ayodhya-kingdom, it came here. 

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
*********************************************
SlOkam 919 : 
 
Raama-paada-gathA-bhAsA saa bhAtha-gadha-pAmaraa
kaadh-upAnanja-ka-asahyA hyAsa kAnchana-pAdhukA 
 
1) Anubhavam of UthtamUr  Swamy : This type of chithrA poetry 
is known as " PaadhAnuloma prathilOmam " . This is also a kind of 
yamakam. If one considers this slOkam to be made of four quadrants,
the first two quadrants  have a mirror image effect ; so does the 
third and the fourth quadrant .The first quadrant " 
RaamapadhagathAbhAsA " is an exact mirror image 
of "saabhAdhagadhapAmarA". If we start reading   from right to left , 
we get exactly the first quadrant. The same situation prevails with 
the third and the fourth quadrant. There is coherent meaning conveyed 
thru the two quarants of the first and second pAdhams as mirror image 
inspite of the clever structuring  of the individual paadhAs.
For developing the meaning , the verse has to be split in to the 
following prose order : " Raama paadha gathA , bhasA , Saa paadhA, 
aagatha paamara, gath upa , ananjakAsahyaa, hi, aasa , kaanchana 
paadhukA". 
 
1) Meaning according to UtthamUr  Swamy' : The golden paadhukAs that 
reached RaamA's feet have movement marked by their brilliant lustre; 
through that lustre, they protect the DevAs from any illness or 
calamities and are foes to those, who are   disrespectful to them . 
They are indeed the reasons for the protection of the Raajya Lakshmi 
of the kingdom of Raghus, when Raama was away for fourteen years.
 
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:The golden Paadhukais of Lord 
RanganAthan have (1) Aasritha soulabhyam with the Lord and therefore 
arrived in BhU Lokam from Brahma Lokam with the Lord (2) have power 
to remove all aathma vyAdhis and external enemies/bhAhya Chathrus (3) 
have power to burn even Sooryan through its tEjas. Thus they have 
Soulabhyam , Daya and tEjas like their Lord . That empowered 
them to rule over AyOdhya as the representative of their Lord during 
His exile .
 
3) The PaadhukAs have attained RaamA's sacred feet ( Raama paadha 
gatha). They  arrived at SrIrangam with SrIranga VimAnam from 
BrahmA's abode of Sathya lOkam ( Kaath upAnanja ). This story is well 
known ( BhAthA aasa hi ) from SrIranga MahAthmyam   The PaadhukAs 
have the tejas that will even burn the Sooryan ( Kaa asahyA ) . Kaa 
means Brahma , Sooryan and the Lord as well .They remove the diseases 
of the mind of the DevAs ( agadhapA= gadham+ pa+a;Gadham is illness ; 
Paa means to protect and "a" means does not have  ) . The ones who 
have protection from illness are the DevAs due to the anugraham of 
the paadhukAs . Linked together , " agadhapA: amarA :" results. These 
illnesses are : ahankAra , MamakArams as Aathma vyAdhis.
