Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

802. prasaBham prathiruDhya kaNtakAdhIn
     BhavathI shoUripadhAmbhujAdhaDhasthAth
     charaNAvani! DhArayathyamuShmin
     uchithacChAyamuparyapi prathIkam

Oh Paaduka! You remain below the Feet. Your service is in respect of 
forcefully destroying thorns in the way. The knob above, for its 
part, furnishes shelter; why, it confers a charm too!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S)

SlOkam 802:
 
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Swamy  Desikan points out that the 
YanthrikA not only serves as the decoration but also protects the 
sacred feet of the Lord through the shade it provides. Swamy Desikan 
says: " Oh PaadhukE! You protect the Lord's feet on ground from 
thorns and stones. At the same time , through Your YanthrikAs 
provide shade for the Lord's feet and protect them from overexposure 
to the Sun's rays. Your YanthrikAs serve thus as umbrellas for the 
Lord's tender feet.  
 
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! You see to that the 
Lord's tender feet are not bothered by thorns and heat . Through the 
shade provided by the YanthrikA , You protect the upper surface of 
the Lord's feet as well.
 
The inner meaning is that the AchAryAs always perform kaimkaryams that
please the Lord. They also protect the PerumAL like LakshmaNa Swamy 
protected Lord Raamachandra and SithA PirAtti in the forest . At 
places where the AchAryAs are, their AshtAkshara Manthra siddhi wards 
off all diseases and inauspiciousness ( YathrAshtAkshara SamsiddhO 
mahA bhAgO maheeyathE , na tathra sancharishyanthi VyAdhir-
dhurbhiksha-taskarA:). 
 
3) Oh Protector of the Lord's feet (hE CharaNAvani) ! You protect the 
inner soul of the Lord's lotus soft feet  from thorns vigorously ( 
Bhavathee Souri PadhAmbhujAth adhasthAth kaNDakAdheen prasabham 
pathiruddhyavAn). You adorn on the upper portion of Your body , the 
YanthrikA, which creates the shadow for protecting the upper surface 
of Your Lord's tender feet ( amushmin PaadhE uchitha chAyAm prathikam 
uparyapi dhaarayathi)...(V.S)
