Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

828. prathipadhachapalApi pAdhukA
raGhupathinA svapadhE nivEshithA
samajani niBhruthasThithisthadhA
Bhavathi guNa: shriyamaBhyupEyuShAm

The Paaduka is vacillating as during walking. When Rama appointed the 
Paaduka as the deputy for being enthroned, the very moment it became 
firm-fixed in position. This is an illustration for the rule that 
attainment of affluence automatically confers virtue also on one.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 828

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Even if the Paadhukais are non-
stationary during the Lord's travels, they sat still for 14 years , 
when they were appopinted by RaamA to rule the kingdom. During those 
years, it became rooted to the tasks and was stationary. For those, 
who attain extraordinary riches, the auspicious qualities develop 
simultaneously. Steadiness of purpose and freedom from distractions 
are two such qualities that the Paadhukais gained as a ruler of the 
kingdom of the Raghus. 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:it is customary to view the Paadhukais 
as not standing in the same place. It is mobile. Even then , the 
Paadhukais stayed put in one place for fourteen years, once it was 
assigned the duties of ruling the kingdom of Raghus. This reminds 
one of the adage that guNam accompanies the acquired wealth . 

3) PaadhukA has the svabhAvam to be on the move (PaadhukA 
prathipadha chapalA ); even with this reputation, when it was 
assigned the responsibilites of rulership for the kingdom by RaamA ( 
prathipadha chapalA api , RaghunATEna svapadhE nivEsithA ), the 
Paadhukais became immobile and stayed put in one place for fourteen 
years ( tadha nibhrutha sTithi: abhUth). When one attains great 
soubhAgyam, then the auspicious GuNams follow them ( Sriyam
abhyupEshAm guNa: bhavathi)...(V.S).
