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

171. mahIkshithAm rAGhavapAdharakshE
BhadhrAsanasThAm BhavathIm sprushantha:
pUrvam thaThAthvE niyathE api BhUya:
kalyANathAmAnashirE kirItA:

Oh Paaduka! As kings' crowns all assembled and 
crowded around You,touching the golden ones 
acquired, in an additional sense, 
'Kalyanatwa' (=goldness and auspiciousness)

Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Here, Swamy
Desikan plays with the double meaning ofthe word
"KalyANA " . This word can mean either "auspicious
or Golden " . Swamy Says: " Oh Raaghava PpadhukE ! 
When the golden crowns of the prostrating kings touched 
You duirng their prostrations , they became auspicious
once more.Before coming into contact with You ,
they were merely golden (kalyANA) ; after making contact
with You , they became auspicious (kalyANA). They were 
thus doubly blessed by offering worship to You . 

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam : The PaadhukA sambhandham 
made the golden crowns of the prostrating Kings auspicious.
The inner meaning is that even the virtuous ones 
(puNyasAlis) attain auspiciousness (KshEmam) 
after AchArya Sambhandham .

(3) Swamy describes the poorva (before ) and 
the utthara states of the Crowns as the kings 
prostrated before the sacred PaadhukAs
of the Lord seated on the BhadhrAsanam ( throne).
Prior to coming into contact with the Paadhukais ,
the crowns had kalyANathvam ( the nature of being Gold );
after the sparsam (touch ) of the Paadhukai , the crowns 
went beyond being just golden and attained the greatest
state of auspiciousness ( KalyANathvam)..V.S
