Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

766. avaDhIrithasADhupaDdhathInAmalasAnAm maDhuvaIripAdhukE dhvE
itharEtharasAhacharyamitTham prathipannE iva dhaIvapoUruShE na:

Oh twin-Paaduka! To us, who have forsaken the path of the good 
persons and who are also lazy in action, You two appear to serve as 
guiding spirit, representing in yourselves, the godly help and human 
effort. 
(Note Desika's glorious maxim here: Man should exert and God will 
help. One alone is not to be depended upon.)

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 766

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Madhusoodana PaadhukE! 
Both of You serve as Divinity(Dhaivatham) and Prowess
(Human effort exertion) for us , who do not follow 
the rules of SaasthrAs (Divine injunctions) and who are
lazy to take any effort to reach the Lord. We have no 
accumulated righteousness (Dharma) through good deeds 
sanctioned by the SaasthrAs. We do not initiate any
action to reach out towards the Lord. We are thus deficient 
both in dharmAs and PurushakAram. For such destitutes and
impoverished people like us, You, the PaadhukAs become
both Dhaivatham and PurushakAram and thereby save us.

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE! For successful
conclusion of undertakings , Dhaiva SahAyam and Manushya
Prayathnam are essential. When one looks at the Lord's
Paadhukais, they appear like doing the work of Dhaivam and 
Humans for the benefit of those , who seek their refuge.

3)Oh Madhuvairi PaadhukE! We ignore the ways of Saadhu
janams and at the same time are lazy to take the initiative
for for action ( na: avadhIritha Saadhu paddhatheenAm
alasAnAm ). You as a pair are supportive of each other
(itharEtarasAhacharyam prathipannAnAm ThvAm) and perform 
the work of both dhaivam and humans ( dhaiva pourushE iva).
