Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

845. prIthEna dhEvi! viBhunA prathipAdhanIyAm
pAdhAvani! prathipadhOdhithamanjunAdhAm
vidhyAm vidhurBhagavatha: prathipAdhanArhAm
pArAyaNAgamapayOniDhipAragAsthvAm

Oh Paaduka! Those who have mastered the ocean of Vedic knowledge 
declare that You are by Yourself a Vidya; an Upaya, an Upasana. This 
has been delivered to the world by the Lord Himself, who is pleased 
with one's conduct. The Vidya-sound is heard at every one of Your 
steps of movement, and it is melodious. (One attains God by this 
Vidya, that is one attains the Lord by surrendering to the Paaduka)


Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 845

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: In the previous verse , Swamy 
Desikan described the PaadhukAs as the dispeller of darkness of the 
night. Here , he describes them as the Upanishadic vidhyA to acquire 
the experience of a bright day. He says: " Oh PaadhukE ! You are the 
VidhyA that brings the Lord before us . You are worn by Him. You are 
also raising a melliflous sound during every one of Your steps. Those 
sounds are like the intonation of the manthrAs associated with the 
VidhyA to bring Your Lord closer to us with Your help. Through that 
mantrA and the Bhakthi that You stir in us , You represent the VidhyA 
to get us closer to Your Lord. You are that Prapatthi VidhyA 
that helps us to realize our goals of securing MOksham. 

2) SrImath Andavn's anubhavam: You are like Vedam and 
the delectable dhvani arising from the jostling of the gems
inside Your YanthrikA (toe holds) remind one of the arrival 
of the Lord to bless us with Your help.

3) Oh PaadhukA DEvi ! You are fit for Your Lord's sanchAram
( prathipAdhanArham).You are recognized as Veda naadham
( ThvAm vidhyAm vidhu: ). This recogniiton is by those , who
have crossed the ocean and reached its other bank ( PaarAyaNAgama 
payOnidhi: pAragA: ). Your Lord is delighted by You and 
the AchAryAs present You to the Lord ( preethEna VibhunA 
prathipAdhaneeyam ) . At every step of Yours during 
the transport of Your Lord , You generate sweet sounds
( Prathipadha udhitha manjunAdham) and are recognized
as veritable Veda Naadham ( ThvAm vidhyAm vidhu:)...(V.S).
