Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

817. snAthA padhAvani! chiram puriBhujya mukthA
pAdhEna ranganrupathE: shuBhalakshaNEna
rEKhAntharaIrnavanavaIrupashOBhasE thvam
samskArachandhanavilEpanapankalagnaI:

Oh Paaduka! (After Tirumanjanam bath and the usual application of 
sandal-paste, the Lord wears the Paaduka) Now Your surface shows in 
addition to the usual lines, the additional sandalpaste streaks-which 
are evidence for the enjoyment You have had with the Lord. It adds to 
Your charm and lustre. (This is like Nammazhwar being referred to as 
exuding the special fragrance of Tulasi, implying his having had 
physical union with the Lord)

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
SlOkam 817

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! You are given 
the ceremonial bath and sandal paste is applied on Your surface 
before uniting You with Your Lord's feet. On those wet sandal paste 
regions , the lines and marks of the Lord's feet are imprinted .
Thus a duplicate set of lines and marks are seen on the surface of 
the wet sandal paste reflecting the ones permanently marked on 
Your dry surface .You shine with both sets of lines and patterns of 
the Lord's feet.

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: When the Lord is ready to go on 
sanchAram outside , the archakAs bathe You and decorate You with 
wet sandal paste . Your Lord places His sacred feet on You and 
transfers the impressions of the rEkhAs that He has on the sole of 
His feet denoting His Emperorship of the Universe. You shine with 
those marks , which provide proof that Your Lord enjoyed very much 
His union with You.

3) Oh PaadhukE! You have enjoyed Thirumnajanam (sacred bath )
and have the auspicious marks of the Lord's feet as a result of 
Your long enjoymentof those sacred feet ( SnAthaa , subhalakshaNEna
RanganrupathE: paadhEna chiram paribhujya mukthA).You shine 
with newer and newer lines and patterns on Your surface that arise 
from the contact of the decorative sandal paste on You with the 
Lord's feet (Thvam samskAra chandhana vilEpana Panka: lagnai: 
navanavai:rEkhAntharai: upasObhasE)....(V.S).
