Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

733. nikaShIkrutharamyakruShNarathnA
BhavathI kAnchanarampadham vyanakthi
paripuShyathi pAdhukE! yadhIkshA
sahasA na: samalOShtakAnchanathvam

Oh Paaduka! You are made of gold. Your grade is assessed by rubbing 
You against the black whetstone that the Lord is. You are pure gold 
and black gems (and the gem of Krishna) stay in You. One who enjoys 
the worship of yourself would develop a contempt for other articles 
as for a worthless clod of mud. What a great bestower You are!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 733

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! Your Lord
KrishNA is the touch stone broadcasting the beauty of
Your golden color. Your association with the glorious
black touch stone of KrishNA enhances You both .You are
the most supreme among golds.All other forms of gold 
are like pieces of burnt mud (OttAnchalli) , when compared 
to you. 

Swamy Desikan hints that the supreme quality of the gold
of the Paadhukais is attested by the blusih-black touch stone,
Lord KrishNA. The gold of this earth can not match the lustre
or quality of the gold of PaadhukAs. Those who get access to
the gold of Paadhukais and the gem (touch stone) of KrishNA 
will gain detatchment and dispassion from worldly affairs
without doubt.

(2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! You are made of
Gold. On You are enmeshed the dark blue Indhraneelam gems
(Sapphires). The proximity of those blue gems enhances Your
lustre manyfold. When one experiences that divine lustre 
of Yours , one equates the gold as having the same value of 
a piece of worthless roasted clay . 

The inner meaning is that for one , who has the bhAgyam of
attaining a SadAchAryan comprehends clearly the Svaroopam of
JeevAthmA and ParamAthmA . For such a BhAgyasAli, even
the position of Brahma (Lofty Brahma pattam) looks like
a worthless piece of mud.He develops VairAghyam and
dispassion for the perishable pleasures of this world.

(3)Oh PaadhukE! Your golden form is enhanced in its
beauty by having the Indhraneela stones as Your 
touch stone( Nikasheekrutha ramya krushNarathnA Bhavavthee).
As a result of that association , You shine with a golden
lustre that is indescribable ( Bhavathee Kaanchana sampadham 
vyanakthi). The effect of experiencing that special lustre
leads one to acquire immediately a dispassionate state of 
mind that treats gold and a piece of mud as having the same value 
(Yath sampadham sahasA IkshA paripushyathi; sama lOshta 
Kaanchanathvam paripushyathi)...(V.S)
