Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

748. thArAsangapraThithaviBhavAm chArujAmbUnadhABhAm
thvAmArUDasthridhashamahithAm pAdhukE! ranganATha:
sanchAriNyAm surashiKhariNasthasThuShA mEKhalAyAm
DhatthE matthadhviradhapathinA sAmyakakshyAm samIkshyAm

Oh Paaduka! You shine with the effulgence of gold, with inset pearls. 
Devas praise You. When the Lord walks along, with His Feet on You, it 
looks as though an ichorous elephant walks along on a moving Meru 
mountain-slope with stars winking all around!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 748

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Mount Meru is known
as the golden mountain; Swamy Desikan describes here
the PadhukAs as the foot hills of Mount Meru. He says:
" Oh PadhukE! RanganAtha mounts You , who is celebrated by
the dEvAs. You are well known for Your beauty arising from
the combination of Your beautiful pearls with Your golden
lustre. RanganAtha travels on You around the foot hills of 
starry Mount Meru like the elephants in rut there. Stars are
equated to the pearls on the PaadhukAs; the golden sheen of
Mount Meru is equated to the golden hue of the PaadhukAs.
Lord RanganAthA is equated to the majestic elephants moving
at the foot hills of the golden Mount Meru.

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:The inner meaning is that 
PerumAl is like a joyous elephant in rut strutting on 
a golden mountain , when He realizes that Swamy NammAzhwar
with limitless love to Him is linked to Him as SeshabhUthan
consistent with the meaning of PraNavam. 

3)Lord RanganAtha adorning You appears like the bull 
elephant in rut strutting joyously on the foot hills of
golden Meru Mountain ( RanganATa: ThvAm aarooDassan sanchAriNyAm
sura-sikhariNa: mEkhalAyAm tasTushA matthadhvirapathinA 
sameekshyam saamyakakshyam dhatthE).He is happy to adorn 
You for His sanchArams since You are celebrated for Your links 
to His praNavam (tAra aasanga praTitha VibhavAm ThvAm ) and 
You have a golden lustre that is beautiful to behold 
(chAru-jaamBhUnadhAbhAm ThvAm ) and You are adored by 
the DevAs ( ThridasamahithAm ThvAm)...(V.S).
