Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

526. thvadhrathnOpalarashmipanjarathanuthrANam sThiram biBhratha:
mAtharmADhavapAdhukE! na thu punarhasthaI: sprushanthyAkulaI:
dhUrOthsikthadhurAdyajihvagabiladhvA:pAlakOpAnala-
jvAlAmithrakaToravEthralathikAdhatthArDhachandram vapu:

Oh Mother, Madhava Paaduka! Those who wear the armour of the cage of 
rays emitted by Your gems, will face no chance of standing before a 
rich man-a veritable cobra-or of being sent out with the stick of his 
gate-keeper and of falling down and removing dust from the body. 

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 526:

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : Oh PaadhukE! Evolved, dispassionate
beings, who worship You wear the rays emanating from the diamonds 
adorning You as their armour. This way, they protect themselves 
against the touch of the unfit ones, who stand in front of the rich , 
arrogant people's houses. These evolved souls reject the temptations 
of perishable wealth. They do not let the lowly ones , who spend 
their lives in service of the unrighteous rich people. The armour 
given to them by You protects them from the vile touch of the lowly 
ones, who guard the doors of arrogant, wealthy people . 

2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that those , who 
understand the updEsams of Swamy NammAzhwAr's paasurams will never 
ever be found at the gates of the unrighteous ones, who arrogantly 
display their wealth. They will never ever be humiliated by them.

3) Swamy Desikan addresses the Paadhukais here as "Maadhva PadhukE !"
to remind us that the Lord of the Paadhukais is the grantor of the 
supreme wealth of mOksham. Swamy Desikan points out that the devotees 
of Paadhukais of the Lord wear permanently an armour created by the 
stitching of the lustre of the rays emanating from the gems adorning 
them ( sTiram panjara Thvath rathnOthpala rasmi tanuthrANam 
Bhibhratha: ). They never approach the abodes of the haughty rich ( 
dhUra uthsikitha dhurADya : ). Those arrogant ones have their gates  
guarded by angry gate keepers, who hiss like an angry snake
( jihvaga Bhila dhvA paala kOpAnala jvAlAmithra) spitting out flames 
of anger. Those angry servants of the haughty masters place their 
hands on the necks of the ones seeking help and push them out of the 
gates. Swamy Desikan says that those, who are blessed to wear the 
kavacham of the rays of Paadhukais do not make contact with the hands 
of the servants of the arrogant rich?(V.S).
