Oh Paaduka! Those who have mastered the ocean of Vedic knowledge
declare that You are by Yourself a Vidya; an Upaya, an Upasana. This
has been delivered to the world by the Lord Himself, who is pleased
with one's conduct. The Vidya-sound is heard at every one of Your
steps of movement, and it is melodious. (One attains God by this
Vidya, that is one attains the Lord by surrendering to the Paaduka)
Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):

SlOkam 845
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: In the previous verse , Swamy
Desikan described the PaadhukAs as the dispeller of darkness of the
night. Here , he describes them as the Upanishadic vidhyA to acquire
the experience of a bright day. He says: " Oh PaadhukE ! You are the
VidhyA that brings the Lord before us . You are worn by Him. You are
also raising a melliflous sound during every one of Your steps. Those
sounds are like the intonation of the manthrAs associated with the
VidhyA to bring Your Lord closer to us with Your help. Through that
mantrA and the Bhakthi that You stir in us , You represent the VidhyA
to get us closer to Your Lord. You are that Prapatthi VidhyA
that helps us to realize our goals of securing MOksham.
2) SrImath Andavn's anubhavam: You are like Vedam and
the delectable dhvani arising from the jostling of the gems
inside Your YanthrikA (toe holds) remind one of the arrival
of the Lord to bless us with Your help.
3) Oh PaadhukA DEvi ! You are fit for Your Lord's sanchAram
( prathipAdhanArham).You are recognized as Veda naadham
( ThvAm vidhyAm vidhu: ). This recogniiton is by those , who
have crossed the ocean and reached its other bank ( PaarAyaNAgama
payOnidhi: pAragA: ). Your Lord is delighted by You and
the AchAryAs present You to the Lord ( preethEna VibhunA
prathipAdhaneeyam ) . At every step of Yours during
the transport of Your Lord , You generate sweet sounds
( Prathipadha udhitha manjunAdham) and are recognized
as veritable Veda Naadham ( ThvAm vidhyAm vidhu:)...(V.S).
