Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:

712. kamalApathipAdhukE! kadhAchidh
vihagEndhrasthvayi bimbithO viBhAthi
savilAsagathEpi rangaBharthu:
nijamAthmAnamivOpayA(DhA)thukAma:

Oh Paaduka! In view of being reflected in You only on occasions of 
the Lord riding over him, Garuda probably longs to be reflected in 
You, by standing near You, so that he can have the satisfaction of 
doing a service now too, being reflected in the Padhuka surface!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan(V.S)

SlOkam 712

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukAs of the consort of
MahA Lakshmi! Garuda is standing near Your Lord. His form is
reflected on Your gems. This reflected image of Garuda 
seems to suggest that He wants to be the transport for
the Lord , when You are carrying Him all alone. His image
follows as reflections on You , wherever You take 
the Lord on Your back.

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The image of Garudan is reflected 
on the shiny gem-studded surface of the Paadhukai. When Your Lord 
steps into You for His sanchAram , it is like Him stepping on 
Garudan's back for His sanchAram. This makes one think that 
Garudan is so eager to have the Kaimkaryam of transporting the Lord 
that He enters into You to have that bliss of service. The inner
meaning is that AzhwAr's paasurams are veda Saaram (the essence of
VedAs). Garudan is Veda Svaroopam and hence one is reminded of
Garudan, when one thinks of SatAri Soori ( Paadhukais).

3)Garudan is some times reflected on Your mirror-like surface
( kadAchith Thvayi BimBitha: VihagEndra:). At those times , Garudan
looks like being eager to offer His body for transporting the Lord 
as RanganAtha steps out for His playful sanchAram on the Paadhukais
( VihagEndra: Rangabharthu: savilAsagathEapi nijam aathmAnam 
upayAthukAma iva vibhAthi)..(V.S).
