Sri:
SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,
Translation of Paaduka Sahasram by U.Ve. Sri V.N. Vedanta Desikan
Swamin: 

69. dvithayam prathiyanthi rangaBharthu: kathichith kAnchanapAdhukE! 
SharaNyam ABhayAvithamagrimam karam vA BhavathIshEKharitham
padAmbhujam vA

Oh Paaduka! Some declare as our refuge, for sure protection, the 
Abhaya-hastha of the Lord or His lotus feet, borne by You on Your 
head!

Namo Narayana,
Adiyen,SriMuralidhara Dasan

NOTES BY V.SADAGOPAN(V.S):
***************************

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : Oh Lord RanganAthA's golden
PaadhukhE ! Some opine two items as symbols of Your Lord's
protection.One is His abhaya MudhrA assuring freedom from 
any fear for those , who seek refuge in Your Lord. The other 
is the Lord's lotus Feet standing as it were decorated
by You, the Paadhukhai ! 

2) Srimadh Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukhE ! MahAns worship 
the abhaya hastham of Your Lord and His sacred feet protected 
by You as the pair to gain salvation and spend their lives
as PrapannAs without worry. These MahA PuNyasAlis believe that
AzhwAr's and SadAchAryA's kataksham as the prerequisite for
gaining the boon of Moksham from Your Lord and therefore 
seek refuge in You. 

3) The twins that relieve the anxieties of the puNyasAlis are:
"abhayAnvitham-agrimam karam and BhavathI sEkaritham 
PadhAmbhujam ".Oh PaadhukhE !One of them is the uplifted, 
forward-moving hastham of Your Lord and the other is Yourself
serving as the decoration for the Lotus feet of Your Lord...V.S
