Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

804. svadhathE maNipAdhukE! thavdhIyA padhashAKhAyugayanthrikA 
vichithrA
     paramam puruSham prakAshayanthI praNavasyEva parEyamarDhamAthrA

Oh Manipaaduka! It is highly delectable for me to regard the finger-
holding knob as equivalent to the half-syllable note at the end of 
Pranava (Aum), that indicates the Supreme God (as per Atharva-sikha-
upanishat)

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 804

1) UthtamUr  Swamy's anubhavam : Swamy Desikan compares now the 
YantrikA to the Naadham (sound ) known as ardha-mAtrA (half letter) 
that is above the three syllables of PraNavam (Aum). The PaadhukAs 
have a front, middle and rear portion and these three sections remind 
one of the three syllables of PraNavam. The PraNava Naadham does not 
arise until the ardha maatra is added. That addition makes PraNavam
complete and confers the resonance that makes the PraNavam raise its 
inimitable majestic sound. The YantrikA is that ardha-mAtraa , which 
provides the finishing touch for Paadhukai to match the PraNava 
Naadham.

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE! When one looks at your 
YantrikA, one is reminded of the MakAram of praNavam that represents 
the Jeevan. This MakAram is very important to PraNavam just as the 
YantrikA is to the Paadhukai; latter will be dysfunctional without 
the Paadhukai. It has to be remembered that PraNavam 
exists to remind one that Jeevan is the property of the Lord.

3) Oh MaNi PaadhukE ! The two YantrikAs tightly holding together the 
fingers of Your Lord's sacred feet are indeed mysterious in their 
vaibhavam( VichithrA iyam padhasAkhayuga YanthrikA ). They celebrate 
the Supermacy of Your Lord as the ParadEvathA ( ParamAm Purusham 
prakAsayanthee ) and are like the delightful sounding finishing 
aksharam (ardha maatrA) of PraNavam (PraNavasya ParA ardhamAtrA 
svadatE )...(V.S).
