Sri:
SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,
Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:

174. raGhuvIrapadhAnuShangamAthrAth
paribarhEShu nivEshithA yadhi thvam
aDhikAradhinE kaTham punasthE
parivArAsthava pAdhukE! baBhUvu:

Oh Paaduka! There is a feeling that You, by reason of 
contact with Rama's Feet are one of the paraphernalia of 
the Lord (like the umbrella, the chamaras etc.). But
then how could You have the umbrella, the chamaras etc. 
to stand in attendance? (No: You are like the Lord)

Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! 
You can not be considered as an object of enjoyment 
and service , because you are worn by RaamA on His feet. 
In this respect, You are quite different from 
the umbrella and fans used for His service.
They are indeed objects of service. If this is not so ,
how can one explain the royal umbrella and the fans 
becoming Your servants , when You ruled AyOdhyA as
a representative of RaamA . Therefore , You are 
different from them and have become an object of
veneration in a class by Yourself.

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning
is that Swamy NammAzhwAr should not be linked to
the people of the World.He should be joined to
the PerumAL vargam ( Lord's group).Swamy NammAzhwar
was born in the Soodhra Vamsam originating
from the divine fett of the Cosmic Purushan 
(Purusha sooktham ) and yet He was devoted to 
performing the duties of an AchAryan (AachAryakam )
instead of the assigned duties prescribed in 
the SaasthrAs for that Vamsam (i-e)performing 
service to others (susrUshai ). 

(3) Oh PaadhukE ! Although You are affiliated
with the sacred feet of the hero of the Raghu clan
( RAGHUVEERA PADHAANUSHANGAM ) , You can not be grouped
as one more service object of the Lord .One has only 
to reflect upon what happened to the other service
objects (Fan, Umbrella et al) on the day You 
accepted adhikAram as the ruler of the kingdom
in the name of Your Lord.On that day , Your differentiation
was spelled out as a result of the Fan and Umbrella et al 
becoming Your servants (PARIVAARAA: BHABHUVA )...V.S
