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

86. sThairyam kulakshONiBhruthAm viDhathsE sheShAdhayasthvAm shirasA 
vahanthi PadhaprasUthA paramasya pumsa: pruThvI mahimnA maNipAdhukE! thvam 

Oh Paaduka! You are Bhoomi verily on many more grounds. You give a 
firm stationing to mammoth mountains (to great royal personages too);
You are borne by Adisesha; You are associated with the Lord's feet and You
are also great in powers.

Namo Narayana,
Adiyen,SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

1)UttamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh MaNi PaadhukhE ! You resemble 
BhUmi Devi in other ways too in displaying your magnanimous stature.
For instance, You provide stability to great kings , who worship
You just as BhUmi Devi supports giant mountains. You are borne
on Adhi SeshA's head just as he bears Mother Earth . You are 
seen at the feet of the Lord offering service just as BhUmi
Devi does . Through all these qualities , You have reached 
a noble status that is not matched by any others .

2)Srimadh Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukhE ! You stabilize 
the wealth of Kings born in good vamsams , just as 
Bhumi Devi provides stability to parvatha rAjAs.Adhi Seshan 
shows his respect by carrying You on his head.
Lord RanganathA wears You on His lotus feet and moves
around on His duties. Thus , Your glories are limitless .
Swami Desikan here refers to the fact that BhUmi was 
generated from the Lord's sacred feet and hence She 
is seen there like the Paadhukhais .

3) Swami Desikan observes here that paadhukai 
is " Prithvee ". Prithvee has two meanings :
(a) BhUmi (b)that which is strong and Firm .
Swamy Desikan states : "MaNi PaadhukhE ! 
thvam mahimnA Prithvee". Swamy points out here that 
the Paadhukhai is firm and strong like the BhUmi 
bearing effortlessly great parvathams .Reflection
on this and other Mahimais , PaadhukhA reminds 
Swami Desikan of BhUmi Devi......V.S
