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

74. aBhigamya mukundapAdhukE! thvAmapanIthAthapavAraNaI: shirOBhi:
harithAm pathayE dhurApamanyaIranaGhacChAyamavApnuvanthi BhOgam

Oh Paaduka! The guardians of the directions (such as Indra, Rudra,
etc.,)come and worship You, after leaving off their umbrellas and other 
paraphernalia. What reward they get! They now dervie a lordship and
enjoyment of the perfect honour and paraphernalia-not attainable to others!

Namo Narayana,
Adiyen,SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

(1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : Oh PaadhukhE adorning the holy feet 
of MukundhA ! It is Your overflowing and matchless affection 
that confers the comfort of immesurable wealth and unquestioned
status to the Lords of the eight directions . They forsake 
their umbrellas duirng the heat of the day and step out 
with unprotected heads to receive You on their heads with
affection .They enjoy the cool shade of Your contact and
become enrichd .

2) Srimadh Andavan anubhavam : Oh PaadhukhE ! When Your Lord wears You 
on His lotus feet and goes about His sanchAram , the Digh PaalakAs
walk behind You without their umbrellas covering their heads .
Through this act ,they come under Your comforting shade and 
attain all riches.

The inner meaning is : When we are with AchAryAs and PerumAL ,
we should not use the umbrellas even if it is noon day's heat .
We wil not be affected by the mid-day heat , when we are
with Them . VisEsha Sukhams result. This is part of
Their PrabhAvam .

3) Swami Desikan chooses exquisite words to describe the unique
blessings conferred by the Mukundha Paadhukhais (Moksham 
granting AchAryaas ). When we have their (AchAryA's )
sambhandham , then the unattainable (dhurApam) comes
within our reach . Swami Desikan says: ThvAm abhigamya 
anyai: dhurApam anaga: chAyam bhOgam avApnuvanthi .The
word '" chaayam" means both lustre (Kaanthi) and shade
(Nizhal ). Those , who have the AchArya sambhandham 
attain and enjoy these BhOgams ... V.S
