Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

896. aBhyasthyanthyO: kramamanupamam rangaBharthurvihArE
     sThAnE sThAnE svarapariNathim lamBhithasthatthadharhAm
     paryAyENa prahithapadhayO: pAdhukE! shruthyudhAra:   
     shinjAnAdha: sPhurathi yuvayO: shrunkalAbanDharamya:

Oh Paaduka! When the Lord holds You and walks, each one of Your 
steps, alternately resembles the Veda-Krama-patha. As the swara 
varies in the Vedic recitation, as Udatta-Anudatta, Your Paaduka-step 
sound too varies as You step on a pit or a mound. It goes on a chain-
like melody strain in both cases.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
 
slOkam 896
 
1) UtthamUr  Swamy's anubhavam: Earlier in the 892nd verse , Swamy 
Desikan compared the PaadhukAs to Krama Paatam way of rendering
the VedAs . He says: " Oh PaadhukE ! When Lord RanganAtha moves about 
assisted by You , He takes one step after the other . The sounds 
generated during those step-wise movements are never the same because 
of the variations of the elevations of the earth. In this regard, 
Your sounds are similar to the sounds of the VedAs , which are never 
repetetive because the intonations (SwarAs) are constantly changing 
even if the same word repeats itself in a manthrA ". 
 
2. SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PadhukE! When Your Lord goes on 
SanchAram and adopts different gathis ( movements ) such as the gait 
of a lion ( Simha Gathi ), elephant gait ( Gaja gathi) , tiger gathi 
( SaardhUla Gathi), Bull gathi ( Vrushabha gathi) and Serpent gathi ( 
Sarpa gathi), UyyAra nadai, You replicate it in tune with those 
movements. The bells on You generate various plesant ensemble of 
naadham that is delightful to listen to. The sequential movement 
of each of You as a pair remind one of the two Veda PaarAyaNa 
ghOshtis following the Lord responding to each other. One ghOshti has 
samhithA paarAyaNam and that is followed by the other ghOshti 
reciting krama paatam of the same passage. The difference is only in 
the Svarams that change in the two versions. It is like a chain made 
up of sequential links.
 
3.The topic is about the beauty of the sweet naadham (SruthyAdhAra: 
sinjAnAdha: ) raised by the gems inside the yanthrikA (Toe hold ) of 
the PaadhukAs; latter respond to the  different gaits relating to the 
SanchArams of the Lord in a sequential manner through their own 
naadha kramam . That reminds one of a beautifully constructed chain 
made of individual links ( ramya: srungalA-Bhandha iva sphurathi )...
(V.S).
