Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

238. nirgathya dhevi! BharathAnjalipadhmamaDhyAth
BhUya: samAgathavathI puruShotthamEna
padhmEva BhadramaKhilam maNipAdharakshE
prAdhuschakAra BhavathI jagathAm thrayANAm

Oh Paaduka! You are verily Mahalakshmi, emanating from the lotus that 
was formed by the 
hand-folding in supplication by Bharata. Having joined the Best 
Person, the Lord, You generate 
all auspices for the three worlds. 

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

1)Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Here Swami Desikan describes
the PaadhukAs united with its Lord as MahA Lakshmi, who is
united with VishNu. He says: " Oh PaadhukE ! You left the hands of
BharathA , which were folded in anjali mudhrA like a closed
lotus flower. You joined then Your Lord's feet and supported
them . Your union with RaamA resulted in all kinds of
auspiciousness to the entire world.

2) Oh PaadhukE ! The PurANams state that MahA Lakshmi
left the Lord's side as a result of Sage DhurvAsA's curse
for IndrA and entered the milky ocean. When Her Lord churned
that ocean , She rose out of a divine lotus flower and
joined the chest of Her Lord and showered the world
with all auspiciousness .Similar to that, BharathA's
uniting You with Your Lord's feet led to sakala soubhAgyams
to the whole world .

3) The imagery presented by Swamy Desikan here is
beautiful .Just as MahA Lakshmi stepped down from
the beautiful lotus flower in the middle of the milky
ocean during amrutha madhanam , Paadhukai left the
"anjali padhmam" formed by BahrathA's joined palms.
Then it got reunited with the Lord ( BhUya: PurushOtthamEna
samAgathavathy).Just like MahA Lakshmi after reunion
with her Lord, they showered on all ther three worlds
sakala KshEmams ( BhavathI PadhmEva thrayANAm JagathAm
Akhilam Bhadram prAdhuscchakAra)...V.S
