Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

998. thvayyAyatthoU Bhagavathi shilABhasmanO: prANadhAnA
        dhAsthrIbAlam praThithaviBhavoU pAdhapadhmoU murArE:
        thAmEvAham shirasi nihithAmadhya pashyAmi dhEvA-
        dhAthmADhArAm janani! BhavathImAthmalABhaprasUthim

Oh Goddess Paaduka Mother! Even a child or womenfolk would know of 
Your achievements in that You helped revivification of a stone or 
burnt log of wood. My assigning them to Your credit cannot be 
questioned by anybody. The Feet depend on You. While You are 
Yourself the basis for Yourself, the feet depend on You. It is You 
which inculcated the right spirit of the seld as subordinate to You. 
And I feel honoured by Your being placed on my head.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
 
SlOkam 998
 
1) UtthamUr  Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Worshipful Mother! the Stone at 
the roadside became AhalyA, the wife of Sage Gouthama. The piece of
charcoal became King Parikshith. People say that these 
transformations took place through the intervention of Your Lord's 
holy feet. Those sacred feet are accomodated by You and supported by 
You. Oh PaadhukE! Unlike the Lord's feet, You do not need any 
support base and are responsible for the jeevan to attain its 
svaroopa Jn~Anam. I consider myself fortunate in adorning You on my 
head inview of the great vaibhavam that you are associated with.( 
Swamy  Desikan bases this verse on what is known as Kaimudhika 
NyAyam according to which PaadhukAs can be understood as giving new 
life to the jeevans at the end of their earthly life inside the 
body).
 
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:In this slOkam, Swamy  Desikan
points out that the auspiciousness arising from being the servant of
the Lord's Paadhukais is unsurpassed in its vaibhavam and it is 
something that is not easy to gain. It is indeed the Vaathsalya 
guNam of the Paadhukais that makes it possible and not any planned 
striving(prayathnam)  on our part. It is  PadhukA's motherly 
affection for us and your their anugraha paramparais that lead upto 
this Parama srEyas. 
 
3) Oh Mother PaadhukE ( Bhagavthee Janani)! Your Lord's lotus feet 
have the glories of blessing AhalyA, who was staying as a stone 
(SilA) due to her husband's curse; those sacred feet  saved the 
embryo ParIkshith from apANDava asthram and  transformed him form a 
cinder block to a living infant (m basmAnO: PrANa dhAnAth); those 
same sacred feet destroyed MurAsuran. Such feet with all these 
vaibhavams are under Your control (MurArE: Paadha Padhmou 
ThvayyAyatthou). Your Lord is the antharAthmA for all the world ( 
aathmAdharAm) and You are the bearer of that ParamAthmA. You are 
worshipped by all the world ( SarvalOka Poojyai ); You have unique
and matchless vaibhavam ( nirathisaya prabhAvasaali ). You are the 
cause for the Moksha sukham for the jeevans (Thvam aathma-lAbha 
prasUthi). It is only through good fortune I am having You now on my 
head without any special prayathnam ( aham dhaivAth sirasi nihithAm 
adhya pasyAmi)...(V.S)
