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

175 purushArThachathuShtyArThinInAm
pariShath thE mahithA vasiShTamuKhyaI:
krayavikrayapattaNam prajAnAm 
aBhavath kAnchanapAdhukE! thadhAnIm

Oh Paaduka! During Your reign, Your court had, 
as its members, sages like Vasishta. That higly 
valued court was the market-place, so to say, 
for anyone to 'sell or purchase' any goods. 
People who seek the four goals of life would serve 
You and secure their aspiration from You.

Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Here Swami Desikan
points out that the Lord's Paadhukais are able to confer
Dharma (righteousness), arthA (wealth) , KaamA ( objects 
of desire) and mOkshA (salvation ) on its worshippers , 
just as its Lord. Swami Says: " Oh Golden PaadhukAs of
Sri RaamA ! When You were ordained to rule over Kosalaa
kingdom as the representative of RaamA , Sage VasishtA
and other holy men blessed You along with RaamA so that 
You could confer on the citizens of Your kingdom all
the four purushArthams ( life's four goals) as desired
by them. Your boon-granting power in this regard equals
that of Your Lord Himself ".

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam : Swami Desikan suggests that
the PaadhukA sevakAs bought and sold the four purushArthams
in the court of the Paadhukai . It was like the shoppers 
coming to a city bring their goods and exchange them 
for other things that they wish to have. The inner meaning is
that SadAchAryAs absorb (learn ) auspicious things from
great AchAryAs and bless their sishyAs with those upadEsams .

(3) Swamy Desikan uses the word "tadhAnIm " to bring
before our mind's eye a happening that took place
earlier at Chithrakootam during the occasion
of the PaadhukA's acceptance of ruling the kingdom
as the representative of its Lord .The kula purOhithar,
Sage VasishTA and his peers were there and blessed 
simaltaneously Both RaamA and His Paadhukais .
The power of those blessings empowered the court of 
the Paadhukais to become a market place for buying and 
selling (kraya-vikraya pattaNam ) by the visitors to
the court , who desired to acquire the four
desired-for goals of Life ( PurushArtha -
chathushtyArthineenAm ) ...V.S
