Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

713. maNipankthiShu thE dhishAmaDhIshA:
prathibimbAni nijAni vIkshamANA:
aBhiyanthi mukundhapAdhukE! thvAm
aDhikArAntharasruShtishankayEva

Oh Paaduka! The guardian-gods of the eight directions, like Indra, 
seeing their images reflected on Your surface of manifold gems, 
develop a fear that 'substitute appointees' have arrived and approach 
You fast to surrender unto You!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 713

1) UtthamUr Sawmy's anubhavam: Oh Mukundha PaadhukE! 
The Lords of directions approach You and bow before You.
At that time , they see many reflections of themselves
on Your gems. They suddenly become afraid that new Lords of
the directions have been created and that they have lost thrir
power and positions. Out of this sudden fear , they surrender 
to You and seek Your intercession to retain their positions.

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: IndrA and the other DEvAs
and DhigpAlakAs see themselves reflected on You , when they
prostrate before Your Lord . When they see thir prathibimbhams
on You , they fear whether they have been replaced by others
to carry out their assigned duties.The inner meaning is that 
high positions like that BrahmA and IndhrA are easily available
to those , who desire only MOksham and engage in Bhakthi 
or Prapatthi yOgam . These paramaikAnthis spurn however such
high positions in favor of Moksham and nithya kaimkaryam to 
the Lord at SrI Vaikuntam . 

3)Oh MaNI PaadhukE! The Ashta dhig paalakAs (protectors of 
the eight directions) arrive at Your Lord's side and see their 
prathiBhimbhams reflected on the surfaces of Your mirror-like gems
( DhisAm adheesA: tE maNi pankthishu nijAni prathiBimBAni 
VeeksahamAnA:). At that time , their anxiety whether they have 
been replaced in their jobs grips them and they fear for 
their positions ( adhikArAnthara Srushti SankayEva ThvAm 
abiyanthi).They approach you for stability of their jobs..(V.S)
