Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

920. bADAGhALIJhAtathucChE gAThABhAnAya PhullaKhE
     samADhoU shaTajicchUdAm vruNOShi haripAdhukE

Oh Lord's Paaduka! Firm sins, in their numerous hordes, constitute a 
dense forest of bushes and herbs. When they are removed iti is a 
clear space. Such a cleansed heart is necessary for yoga to succeed. 
That was Nammazhvar. You sat in his head so as to make way for the 
delivery of his holy hymns for the benefit of the world.

or 

The cleansed, pure heart of Nathamuni was fit for yoga practice. The 
holy hymns of Nammazhvar were delivered to him. And from then on it 
benefits the whole world; also by You (as Satakopa) sitting on the 
heads of all people.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
*******************************************
SlOkam  920: Here another chithram known as "apunuruktha
vyanjanam" is used by Swamy  Desikan to salute Swamy 
NammAzhwAr , Naadha Muni and the PaadhukAs . Punarukthi 
means to repeat a statement or phrase or a word . Apunarukthi 
is the opposite : nonrepetitiveness. Vyanjanam means figurative
or elliptical mode of _expression . In Vedic terminology , Vyanjanam 
also means to decorate or adorn or annoint thoroughly Hence ,
we can assume that this sabdha chithram has the meaning of 
nonrepetetive adornment. The "hul " aksharam mentioned once is
not repeated again anywhere in this slOkam to satisfy the rules of 
Apunurukthi vyanjanam. 
 
1) UtthamUr  Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Hari PaadhukE! You adorn
the heads of all. You transform the people with deep rows of sins 
in to the righteous ones through the form of Naadha Muni , who 
performed yOgA to gain Tamil Vedams from Swamy NammAzhwAr Himself.
 
Swamy  Naadha Muni wanted to transform the sinners in to righteous
ones ( PuNyasAlis) through the propagation of the sacred 
aruLiccheyalkaLs of Swamy NammAzhwAr. To accomplish this goal , He 
reached a state of blemishless tranquility and won over inertia and 
became Sawmy  NammAzhwAr Himself and spread the wealth of Tamil VedAs 
through the symbolic act of SatAri sitting on the people's heads to 
bless them ..
 
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE that removes all the 
blemishes of aasrithAs! You have the same tendency like your Lord in 
the matter of those, who seek Your protection. It is because the 
Paadhukais have their Lord 's Thiruvadi inside them. 
 
3) Oh Hari PaadhukE !  Deep dhyAnam about You banishes the assembly of
all heinous sins ( BhADA agha aaLi jaaDa tucchE ) . You stay on the 
top of Swamy  NammAzhwAr's head (sezhum paRavai thAnErit-thirivAn tann
thALiNai yenn talai mElE ).BhagavAn has saanidhyam (presence) on Swamy
NammAzhwAr's head in rsponse to his deep dhyAnam ( SammAdhou 
SaThajith chUDAm vruNOshi) . The Paadhukais attain now a delightful
roopam and makes ThiruvAimozhi luminous ( GaaTA aabhAnAya pulla
khE vruNOshi )...(V.S).
