Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

We pray to the Paaduka, closely set and perfect in form; which bears 
the pleasing nectar drops from Siva's moon and the pollen dust from 
the flowers on the heads of deva and asura chiefs, when they bend 
their heads closely to the Paaduka; which is to be regarded as the 
embodiment, in solid form, of the Divine Sport of the Lord 
Ranganatha, intimately interested in the role (entrusted to it), 
regarding creation-protection-termination duties, as well as 
benediction-punishment acts, in respect of all creatures bordered by 
Brahma at top end and a worm at the bottom end.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan



Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S ):  
 
SlOkam 908
 
1. UtthamUr  Swamy's anubhavam: The nectar flows from the crescent 
Moon on MahEswara"s head. The stamens (Makarandham) from the flowers 
of the garlands decorating the heads of the DevAs fall in that nectar 
resting on top of the Paadhukais and cause the formation of a 
fragrant paste.When those PaadhukAs start their movement with their 
Lord , they take excellent care of all the affairs of the sentients 
and insentients (their birth, protection, punishment for 
transgressions , anugrahams and their dissolution ). The PaadhukAs 
become the representative of  the Lord in performing these deeds 
celebrated by the VedAs.
 
2. SrIMath Andavan anubhavam : The emphasis in this slOkam is that
the Paadhukais are the embodiment of the Sankalpa Sakthi of the Lord .
Through PaadhukA sambhandham , the sentients including the DevAs 
gain the four kinds of PurushArTams. The inner meaning is that 
SadAchArya Sambhandham saves the Bhaddha Jeevans from the cycles of 
endless births and deaths.
 
3.First Swamy  Desikan offers His prayers to the Paadhukais, which 
has on top the suspension/mud formed bt  the union of the nectar from 
the crescent Moon adorning the head of the prostrating MahEswaran and 
the pollens from the garlands adorning the heads of DevAs bent before 
them . This flood of nectar from the crescent Moon mingles with the 
copious pollen dust to form the mud like fragrant suspension on the 
surface of the Paadhukais (chandra peedA sikhaNDa chandra sikhara 
chyOtath sudhaa--nirjara sthOkam + SurEndra sEkhara raja: sthyAnAm
PaadhukA ). The nectar is intermingled (aaslishtam) with the pollen 
dust and Swamy  Desikan offers His salutations to the Paadhukais 
displaying such a svaroopam . He recognizes those PaadhukAs as SrI 
RanganAthA's Leela Sankalpa Roopam ( manifestation of the Sankalpa 
Sakthi ) to bless those dear to Him ( PraNayinee RangiNa: Saa kriyA 
sakthi). That Sankalpa Sakthi the birth ( Sarga), staying for a while 
after srushti (sTithi), giving anugraham for the good karmAs 
(anugraha Sakthi), punishment acording to the dhushkarmAs ( nigraha 
sakthi) , for all kinds of Jeevans ( Vividha KshEthraJ~na: )
from a blade of grass to the mighty BrahmA...(V.S).
