Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

784. parasya pumsa: padhasannivEshAn
prayunjathE BhavithapancharAthrA:
aGhaprathIpAnapadhishya puNdrAn
angEShu rangEshayapAdhukE! thvAm

Oh Paaduka! Those who follow the Pancharatra (or Vaikhanasa) agama for
paying homage to the Lord (in Aradhana), have the habit of adorning their
limbs (forehead, neck, chest, belly and shoulders) with the mark of
the Lord's Foot; the Foot herein is only a pretext, so described; actually
,
they are of Your shape only! (Paaduka only)

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan(V.S)

SlOkam 784:

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh RanganAtha PadhukE! SrI VaishNavaas
conversant with PaancharAthra aagamAs wear You on their forehead and
other parts of the body . Those twelve marks on their upper torso are for
reminding themselves about You , who carry the Lord's holy feet . Those
marks representing You remove all their sins by their presence (on the
bodies of
SrI VaishNavAs).

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! Those who are conversant with
PaancharAthram adorn their upper torso with the twelve ThirumaNNs. The name
is
only sacred clay ( Thiru MaNN ) but it is really Paadhukais , which are
adorned
by the SrI VaishNavAs on their body.

3) Oh RangEsaya PadhukE! PaancharAthrA practioners (BhAvitha PaancharAthrA:)
adorn the ThirumaNNs , which are in the form of the Lord's sacred feet on
their body
for elimination of sins ( aga pratheepAn Parasya Pumsa: padha sannivEsAn
prayunjathE).
Actually those ThirumaNNs (PuNDrAn) are insignia for You alone ( PuNDrAn
Upadisya
ThvAm angEshu prayunjathE)...(V.S).

Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan
