Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

744. kanakaruchiravarNAm pAdhukE! sahyasinDhu:
shriyamiva mahanIyAm sinDhurAjasya pathnI
svayamiha saviDhasThA soUmyajAmAthruyukthA-
mupacharathi rasEna thvAmapathyABhimAnAth

Oh Paaduka! Kaveri is the wife of the ocean-god. When the Lord walks 
near the river, she (Kaveri) presumably renders the best homage and 
courtesy to You- as You are like her daughter Lakshmi-and to the 
Lord, who is charming, gold-hued son-in-law, by name itself, i.e., 
Ramyajamata (Azhagiya Manavalan). 

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 744

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: After paying tribute to 
the PaadhukAs as lotus creepers in the previous verse, 
Swamy Desikan is reminded about the lady seated on 
the lotus flower and holding lotuses on Her hands(viz).,
MahA Lakshmi. He equates the PaadhukAs then to MahA Lakshmi
and describes the honors done by Cauveri to the PaadhukAs
at SrIrangam.

Swamy Desikan says: " Oh PaadukE! The river Cauveri flowing 
from the Sahya mountains(western ghAts) is the wife of the Lord
of the Seas. She recognizes You as the bride of the beautiful
bridegroom (Sowmya JaamAthru/Azhigiya MaNavALan)at SrIrangam
and considers You as equivalent to MahA Lakshmi . Out of affection
for You and Your status as the bride of RanganAtha , Cauvery shows
her respect by flowing gently next to the temple ,where You
reside with the Lord and serve Him.

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PadhukE! When Your
Lord travels on You and reaches the banks of Cauvery
(His Mother-in-law), some thing interesting happens.
Mother-in-Law Cauvery looks at You and thinks that it is 
Her daughter that has come home with Her Lord and She
performs all upachArams to You with joy. Why does
Cauvery get confused ? The three things that throw her
off are : (1) You have the golden hue of her daughter
(2) all the world celebrates You just as they celebrate
Her daughter (3) You do not leave the side of the Lord
just like her daughter. 

3)Cauvery is the wife of Samudhra Raajan ( Sahya sindhu:
Sindhu Raajasya pathni). Here at SrIrnagam , She is very
near Her daughter and son-in-law and performs upachArams 
for the Lord , who adorns the reflected golden sheen
of MahA Lakshmi , her Daughter( iha Svayam savidhasTA 
sathee kanaka ruchira varNAm soumyajAmAthru-yukthaam 
Sriyamiva upacharathi). Oh PaadhukE! When Your Lord
arrives on the banks of Cauvery river, His Mother-in-Law's
home, She mistakes You for Her golden hued daughter,
who is celebrated by all and offers all the upachArams
( Soumya-jaamAthru-yuktham Sriyamiva MahaneeyAm 
ThvAm apathyAbhimAnAth rasEna upacharathi)...V.S
