Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

724. prathidhishamupayAthE dhEvi! yAthrOthsavArTham
thvayi viharaNakAlE bimbithE jIvalOkE
vahasi maNigaNaIsthvam pAdhukE! rangaBharthu:
kabaLithasakalArThAm kAnchidhanyAmavasThAm

Oh Paaduka Devi! While in a procession, devotees throng from all 
directions; they get reflected in You. It then looks as though You 
had swallowed the whole universe, in a manner of the Lord doing so 
during the deluge and reclining on a fig leaf.
(Archa, again)

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 724

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh DEvi PaadhukE! When
You travel outside with Your Lord , the reflections of 
the countless number of people joined to worship Your Lord 
remind one of the stomach of the little child floating on 
the leaf of a pupil tree at the time of universal deluge 
(praLayam) . Like Your Lord , You keep them protected in 
Your stomach made up by Your gems.

Swamy Desikan suggests here that many , many reflections of
people thronged to pay their salutations to the Paadhukais 
are seen on its gems. The containment of these multitude of
reflections of people by the gems of Paadhukais remind one of 
the God child , which swallowed the entire universe for its 
protection during the deluge and floated calmly on a pupil
leaf over the oceans as VaDapathra Saayee.

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukA Devi! During the Uthsavam 
times at SrIrangam , PerumAL travels on the raaja veedhis of 
SrIrangam adorning You. The reflections of the assembly of devotees 
is seen at that time on the surface of Your gems. That sight (the 
BhimBham) of all the people reflected on You reminds adiyEn of 
VaDapathra Saayee, who keeps the entire world inside His stomach 
during the time of deluge.

3)Oh PaadhukA Devi! You transport the Lord of SrIrangam
during His festival times around the streets . Many people
from all corners have assembled to have the blessings of
seeing Your Lord at those festival times( Thvam YaathrA 
uthsavArTam prathidhisam upayAthE jeeva lOkE viharaNa kaalE).
The images of the assembled devotees are seen on the surface of
Your gems( tath viharaNa kaalE , maNi gaNai: Thvayi jeeva:
BhimBitha:). Those massive reflections of the entire assembly
of sevArthis reminds one of the other manifestation of Your
Lord as VaDapathra Saayee , when He swallowed in one gulp
the entire world and kept it in His stomach for protecting
the jeevans from the dangers of praLayam ( maNi ganai: Thvayi 
BhimBhithE sathi , kaBaLitha sakalArTAm anyAm Rangabharthu:
kaanchith avasTAm vahasi)..(V.S).
