Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

875. pathraLA maNigaNaIrhiraNmayI BhAsi rangapathirathnapAdhukE
     kELimaNtapagathAgathOchithA BhUmikEva garudEna kalpithA

Oh Paaduka! You are gold-made. The dense beams of light emitted by 
the gems present a picture of wings when You look to me as a form of 
Garuda, who has taken Your form, only for swift transport of the Lord 
from one mandapa to another in a kind of walking exercise. 

Garuda is known as Vedatma. Being on Him also implies that the Lord 
is the subject of all Vedas. Paaduka being an equivalent of 
Nammazhvar, the Lord revels on this embodiment of Tamil Veda as well. 

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan(V.S)
 
SlOkam 875
 
1. UtthamUr  Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PadhukE! With Your many gems 
forming the shape of the two wings and with Your golden body, You 
appear to be a miniature version of Garuda, who has assumed that 
small form to move freely in the play room of the Lord.
 
2. SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE ! the spreading assembly 
of Your lustre originating from the rays of Your gems create the 
imagery of the spreading wings of Garudan. Your golden hue and 
sancharam carrying the Lord on You makes us think that You are 
another form of Garudan, who has golden wings and is the vaahanam 
of the Lord of SrIrangam.  
 
3. Oh Rangapathi Rathna PaadhukE ! You are full of Gold ( Thvam 
HiraNmayee); You have the shining wings of rays from Your encrusted 
gems ( Thvam MaNigaNai: pathraLaa). You look like another form of 
Garuda BhagavAn used to take the Lord on His back in the play fields 
of SrIrangam for Your Lord's comings and goings (Thvam Bhagavatha: 
kELi manDapa gathAgatha uchithaa GarudEna kalpithA bhUmikEva asi). 
Swamy  Desikan suggests that the activities of the golden Paadhukais 
with sprading rays are "  Garuda Kalpitha BhUmikaa " ( role arranged 
by Garudan) for the comings and goings of the Lord in the palyfields 
of SrIrangam temple ( Thvam kELi maNdapa gathAgatha uchitha 
bhUmikaa)...(V.S).
