Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

803. muraBhirmaNipAdhukE thavdhIyAmanaGhAmanguLiyAnthrikAmavaImi
     svayamunnamithAm pradhEshinIm thE paramam 
dhaIvathamEkamithryachanthIm

Oh Paaduka! Your beautiful knob protrudes and keeps hold of fingers 
of the foot. But it appears to me that it is an index finger that 
emphasizes to the viewers: "That there are many gods, don't believe. 
There is only one Supreme God, Narayana;" What a lovely gesture!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes from V.Sadagopan (V.S)

SlOkam 803

1) UthtamUr  Swamy's anubhavam: Here, Swamy  Desikan explains why the 
toehold (YanthrikA or restrainer ) got its name. Since the toehold 
restrains the big and the other toes from leaving or parting with the 
PaadhukAs , it has acquired the name of YanthrikA or the restrainer ; 
further , it seems to stand up as the index finger of the PaadhukAs 
to pint out that RanganAtha is the Supreme Lord and the universal 
controller , who manages the creation , sustenance and the dissolution
of all the Universes and their beings. In this context , Swamy  
Desikan says: " Oh MurAri PaadhukE ! Your blemishless YanthrikA 
shoots up, while hugging Your Lord's big toe and fingers and appears 
to identify itself as Your index finger to point out that there is
no one who is Superior to Your Lord in KalyANa guNAs."

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that Swamy 
NammAzhwAr (Our Lord's Paadhukai) has pointed out at many places in 
His Prabhnadham that SrIman NaarAyaNan is the Supreme among all gods.

3) Oh Muraripu MaNi PadhukE ! Swamy  Desikan praises here the 
delightful and sacred YantrikA, which holds tightly the toe and the 
other fingers (anagAm ThvadheeyAm anguLiyantrikAm). He says that the 
YantrikA in its elevated from suggests that SrIman NaarAyaNan is the 
ParadEvatha ( svayam unnmithAm Paramam dhaivatham yEkam ithi 
ruchantheem). The Yantrika sends this message by standing as the 
index finger of the Paadhukai ( tE pradEsineem avaimi)...(V.S).
