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

201. pAdhapAdhupahruthA raGhUdhvahAdh
AlavAlamiva pITamAshrithA
aBhyaShEchi BhavathI tapODhanai:
pArijAthalathikEva pAdhukE!

Oh Paaduka! The Sages performed the abhisheka to You, who looked like 
a Parijata creeper transplanted from the tree (Kalpaka) that Rama is, 
onto the throne, which is a water-trench, so to say.

Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PadhukE!
You are like the branch of PaarijAthA tree known as 
RaamA. Great sages like VasishTA brought You from 
ChithrakUtam and planted You in the fertile soil
known as the throne of the Raghus. Then, they fed You with 
nutritous waters at the time of Your coronation bath and
nurtured You to become another PaarijAthA tree to fulfill
the wishes of all the people, who worshipped You .

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning here 
is that SadAchAryAs are like the wish-granting KalpakA tree.

(3) Here Swami Desikan compares the Padhukai to
the celestial Kalpakaa creeper , that grants all
the wishes that one prays for . The Sages performed
abhishEkam for that kalpakA tree sittIng on the throne
of the Raghu dynasty ( BhavathI PaarijAtha lathikEva
TapOdhanai: abhyashEchi). Swamy compares the simhAsanam
on which the PaadhukA was seated as "aalavAlam" or
the specially prepared soil with boundaries (Paatthi 
in Tamil ).That Kalpa LathikA seated on the aalavAlam
of the simhAsanam was a branch of the kalpakA tree 
that was RaamA ( RaghUdhvahAth paadhapAth upahrutha
AALAVaLAMIVA PEETAM AASRITHAA BHAVATHEE)...V.S
