Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

980. vimrushya rangEshvarapAdharakshE!
        VArakramam nUnamavAraNIyam
        PadhmAgruhEpi sprushathI prathIthA
        SThUlEna rUpENa vasunDharA thvAm

Oh Ranganatha Paaduka! There perhaps is a regular protocol in the 
manner of presenting You to the Feet, Lakshmi in the first occasion, 
Bhoomi  next and Neela on the next. When however, it is the turn of 
Lakshmi, Bhoomi cherishes the chance of touching You in her concrete 
form of Earth, not being merely contented with her turn-that 
privilege being unavoidable.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
 
SlOkam 980
 
1) UtthamUr  Swamy's anubahvam : Oh RanganAtha PaadhukE! Bhoomi Devi 
can not bear the seperation from Her Lord. She knows however of the 
rigid protocol of who has to have the association of Her Lord and at 
what time. Inspite of that, She develops a scheme to bypass that 
protocol and to have contact with Her Lord at " all " times ,
(when He has to go on His SanchArams). During those sanchArams , His 
feet are in touch with You (Paadhukais) and You are in touch with 
Bhoomi DEvi, even if She has no direct contact with Her Lord's feet. 
This auspicous situation makes Bhoomi Devi assume a big size (BhU 
ManDalam) and this act elates Her. It appears that She has swelled 
up with pride and attained the gigantic form as Earth due to the 
blessings of frequent indirect contact with Her Lord. 
 
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:  Oh SrI RanganAtha PaadhukE ! 
My statement alone that you are the sole recourse ( parama prApyam ) 
for the Tatthva Jn~Anis may not have sufficent authority . May I 
suggest another pramANam that could be acceptable to all? There is a 
well established protocol  that is set regarding which Devi of the 
Lord (Sri, BhU and NeelA DEvis) can present You to the Lord's 
Thiruvadi on which day. This is strictly observed among them. Even 
then, BhUmi dEvi comes up with a clever scheme to prolong the links 
with Her Lord. She hides Her own roopam as a woman  and takes on 
the gigantic roopam as BhU MaNDalam and supports You (Paadhukais) 
so that She can be close to Her Lord in an indirect way as well as 
long as possible. This is a Parama PrAmANyam acceptable to all.    
 
3) Oh Ranga PaadharakshE! BhU DEvi thought about the inviolable
protocol regarding which DEvi will present their Lord's Paadhukais
on which day of the week ( VasundarA avaaraNeeyam vaara kramam
vimrusya). She thought about a way to prolong Her sambhandham
with Her Lord compared to the other Devis  and took on a gigantic 
form (BhU MaNdalam ) hiding Her roopam as a lady ( PadhmA grahEapi  
sTUlEna roopENa ) and is in contact with You and through that 
association is linked indirectly connected to Her Lord ( sTUlEna 
roopENa ThvAm sprusathee ). This is surely well known ( Pratheethaa 
noonam ).. (V.S).
