Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

972. nivishEya nirantharam prathIthasthridhashAnAm viBhavam thruNAya 
mathvA saviDhE thava dhivi! RangaBharthu: padhalIlAkamalam 
samudhvahanthyA:

Oh Paaduka Devi! I spurn the super affluence of the Devas as mere 
leaf of grass. I only cherish to stand close to You, who sport as it 
were, the toy-lotus, namely, the Feet of the Lord Ranganatha, and 
serve You, earning for me, the befitting honorific, `Paaduka-sevaka'.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S)
 
SlOikam 972
 
1) UtthamUr  Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukA Devi ! Lord's holy
feet are a pair of lotus. You hold those lotus feet , which are the 
embodiment of SrI Devi. There is no other wealth including that of 
the DevAs that is desirable to me compared to the wealth of being 
next to You ( Paadhukai) and serving You. Oh PaadhukE! I consider 
the wealth of the dEvAs as a blade of grass compared to Your 
Vaibhavam and therefore seek instead the undiminishing wealth of 
uninterrupted service to You.
 
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! There is only one
Phalan I seek. That is to perform all types of Kaimkaryams to You 
always at all states, all places and at all times ( Sarva dEsa , 
Sarva Kaala, SarvaavasthOchitha, Samastha Vidha Kaimkaryams). AdiyEn
longs to gain the title of "PaadukA UpAsakan" by being near You
and by serving You and gaining You as PrApyam and PrApakam .
There is nothing elase that pleases me such as the insignificant
wealth possessed by the DevAs . The bliss arising from the Kaimkarya 
anubhavam by serving You makes other Iswaryams pale into 
insignificance. Therefore , the only BhAgyam that I beseech is the 
permanent kaimkaryam to You always. 
 
The inner meaning is that living next to SadAchAryAs and serving
them at all times and ways is the Parama PurushArTam. Even the 
glories of rulership status as  Brahama dEvan wont match that 
Vaibhavam. 
 
3) Oh PaadhukA DEvi ! I am blessed to have gained now the title as 
the well known ( Pratheetha: ) PaadhukA Sevakan ( vide : 969th 
sLokam ). Rest of the titles and their glories experienced by the 
dEvAs are inferior and insignificant like tthe blades of grass 
compared to the title of "PaadhukA SEvakan" (ThridasAnAm Vibhavam 
thruNAya mathvA). May I therefore be at Your side always ( Tava 
savidhE nirantharam nivEsaya). Thou are indeed the holder of the 
Lord's playful lotus feet (Tava Rangabharthu: padha leelA Kamalam 
asi?)...(V.S).
