Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

754. mA BhUdhiyam mayi niShaNNapadhasya nithyam
vishvamBharasya vahanAdhvyaThithEthi mathvA
DhathsE balABhyaDhikayA maNipAdhukE! thvam
shEShAthmanA vasumathIm nijayaIva mUrthyA

Oh Manipaaduka! You perhaps thought: "This earth need not bear this 
strain of holding the Paaduka, along with the World-Bearer, namely, 
the Lord, in this manner for all time" and took another form, namely, 
of Adisesha to remain in the nether world to uphold the Earth!
(For this second Adisesha form Bala or might is the forte)

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):

SlOkam 754

1) Oh MaNi PaadhukE! Thinking that You should give relief to
the stress of Mother Earth , who bears the weight of Lord ,
You have taken the form of PaathaaLa sEshan (AdhisEsha
of the lower world) to bear Mother Earth. ( Swamy Desikan suggests
that AdhisEsha takes the form of PaathALa sEshan to relieve
somewhat the burden of Bhumi Devi , who bears the weight of
the Lord standing on the PaadhukAs.

2)SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:The inner meaning is that
the DayA of AzhwAr and AchAryAs are limitless. They work
in many ways to save the jeevan afflicted by samsAric distress.
Propelled by their DayA , they comfort the jeevans in many special
ways . When they give upadEsams to the foolish beings , thay
do not address them as fools lest they will be hurt by
such a remark and sorrow over their foolish nature.Swamy
NammAzhwAr for instance address them as "Vammeen Pulaveer ".
He invites them as " Oh VidhvAns ! Please come near ".

3)Oh PadhukE! in the form of AdhisEshA , You carry the Lord,
who carries all the universe( Visvarambhasya vahanAth).
You are carried by BhUmi Devi. You worry about the troubles
caused to BhUmi DEvi through this extraordinary effort 
(Visvambharasya vahanAth vyaTithA maabhUth )and You carry her in 
PaathALa lOkam on Your head as PaathalA
AdhisEshan (Thvam Bala abhyadhikayA nijayA moorthyaiva
Vasumathim dhathsE)..(V.S).
