Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

730. haripadhanaKhEShu BhavathI prathiPhalathi thavaIthadhapi 
rathnEShu uchithA miTha: padhAvani! bimbaprathibimbathA yuvayO:

Oh Paaduka! You get reflected in the lustrous nails of the Lord's 
Feet; the Lord's Feet get reflected in the gem-set surface of 
yourself. This is well-nigh appropriate that the Feet and the Paaduka 
remain in the relation of object and image and vice versa too!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 730

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE! Your image is reflected
in the nails of Your Lord's feet. Those holy feet are reflected 
in turn on Your gems. It appears only appropriate that Your Lord's
feet and Yourself are united forever through the tradition of 
image and counterimage. Swamy Desikan says that the images of 
the Paadhukais are seen on the Lord's nails. The gems of 
the Paadhukais at the same time carry the images of the Lord's
feet .Through this connection , they alternate as image(Bhimbha)
and counter-image (Prathibhimbha) for each other. 

2)SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:The inner meaning is that those
who are true devotees of the Lord serve both as servants and Masters 
of each other.

3)Oh PaadhukE! You are reflected on the shiny and radiant 
nails of the Lord( hE Padhaavani! BhavathI Hari Padha nakhEshu
prathiphalathi ). The nails themselves are reflected on Your 
assembly of gems( yEthadhapi Tava rathnEshu prathiphalathi).
It is very appropriate that both of You ( the Lord's nails
and Paadhukais) serve as BhiBham and PrathiBhimBham to
each other ( YuvayO: miTa: BhimBhaprathiBhimBathA 
uchithA)...(V.S).
