SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha, Translation of Paaduka Sahasram by U.Ve. Sri V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 82.biBharShi Nithyam MaNipAdhukE! thvam vishvamBharam DhAma nijEna BhUmnA thavAnuBhAvashchuLakIkruthOyam BhaktaIrajasram BhavatIm dhaDhAnaI: Oh Paaduka! You permanently bear the Lord (who Himself bears all the worlds) by Your intrinsic greatness; but then this greatness is a moiety-a palmful- compared to the greatness the devotees acquire by reason of their bearing You on their heads! Note: This is not belittling the Paaduka by any stretch of imaination even. Bhaktas derive their greatness now only from Paaduka. They are more praiseworthy. That is the implication here. Namo Narayana, Adiyen, SriMuralidhara Dasan
