Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

892. manasiniyamayukthE varthamAnA munInAm
     prathipadhamupayAnthI BhAvanIyakramathvam
     shruthiriva nijashabdhaI: pAdhukE! rangaBharthu:
     padhamanitharagamyam vyankthumarhA thvamEva

Oh Paaduka! Sages see You in their mind, which has been disciplined 
by Bhakti, continence, regular discharge of karmas etc. You progress 
step by step in their mental vision. That is reminiscent of the Krama-
patha of Veda wherein words come step by step. Indeed You are very 
much like sruti. As the Vedic words can enlighten one on the nature 
(Swaroopa) of the Lord's Feet, You by Your Nada, the melody exhibited 
in the walking, show with a pointed finger, as it were, the Lotus 
Feet of Lord Ranganatha!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
 
SlOkam 892
 
1. UtthamUr  Swamy's anubhavam: Swamy  Desikan compares the PaadhukAs 
here to Vedic recitation known as krama Paatam . In that mode of 
recitations, the individual words of the Veda manthrAs are united two 
at a time in succession to preserve the way of proper recitation. 
Swamy  Desikan states that the orchestrated steps of the PaadhukAs 
are equal to the Krama Paatam in revealing the Lord's holy feet
and their glories. Both the PaadhukAs and the Vedic krama paatam 
reveal the Lord and His Supreme abode  through their deliberate 
efforts. Swamy Desikan says: Oh PaadhukE ! You stay in the heart 
lotus of Yogis and through Your every measured step reveal the Lord 
in the same manner as the VedAs through Krama Paatam reveal the holy 
feet of Your Lord step by step". 
 
2. SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE ! The devotees of the Lord 
wait eagerly for His arrival made possible by You and therefore 
praise You with ardour for Your upakAram. During those sanchAram 
times with Your Lord, You follow closely the steps of the Lord in a 
measured manner and raise sweet naadham appropriate for the occasion. 
There is no one better than you to inform the waiting BhakthAs from 
a  distance about the exact location of Your Lord, the speed at which 
He is travelling and what kind of steps that He is sporting. You 
follow His kramams in sanchAram in  a manner similar to Krama Paatam 
in VedAs. The kramathvam of the steps of PadhukA transporting 
the Lord of SrIrangam is compared to the majestic and orderly steps 
associated with the recitation of Vedams in the Krama Paatam style.
 
3. You alone are the fittest One to reveal the Vaibhavam of Your 
Lord's glories (known only to Vedams) through Your sweet Naadham as 
You take Him around on His sanchArams and in this activity ( 
ThvamEva  Sruthiriva anitharagamyam Rangabharthu: padham nijasabdhai: 
vyankthum arhA ). You are like Vedam in this matter ( ThvamEva 
Sruthiriva vyankthum arhA ) . You are residing in the heart 
lotuses of Yogis ( Thvam MuneenAm manasi varthamAnA ). At every 
step , You are beautiful to look at ( Thvam prathipadham bhavaneeya 
kramathvam ). Through each of Your sequential steps , You remind us 
of the Krama Paatam of the VedAs (Thvam Bhaavaneeya kramathvam 
upayAnthi )...(V.S) .
