Oh gold Paaduka! For the Mahalakshmi allegorically conceived of in
the effulgent beauty of the Lord's Lotus Feet, You serve as a toy-
chariot to ride on. Your rays are abundant; they come in streams; You
also have beautiful arrays of gems and peg-like knob for the carriage-
pole. The horses are controlled in their pace by means of the goad-
chord kept in hand.
(The Lord rides on the chariot (of acharyas) to achieve His goal of
reformation of the humans).
Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S ):
SlOkam 839
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Swamy Desikan assembles
the gems, Yantrika (toe hold) and the movement of the PaadhukAs
to compare them to a moving chariot. He says: " Oh Golden
PaadhukE ! Your gems have rays, whose brillinace is indestructible.
These gems are set in uniform rows and appear like the leather bait
attached to the mouth of the horses that pull a chariot . Your
measured steps are like the noble steps of high pedigree horses. Your
Yantrika serves as the binding pin of the Yokes carried by the horses
pulling a chariot. With all these features , You look like a chariot
for the resplendent beauty of the Lord's feet used for His travels.
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! Beautiful gems are
enmeshed on Your surface. When one looks at You, the impression
that one gets is that of a chariot for the beautiful consort of
the Lord (SrI Devi), who is sititng at the sacred feet of Her Lord.
3) Oh Golden PaadhukE ( Kaanchana PaadharakshE ) ! You appear
like the chariot for the divine consort of the Lord seated on the
Lotus feet of Her Lord to transport Her during Her times of play (
