Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

728. thvAmEvaIkAmaDhigathavatha: kELisanchArakAlE
pArshvE sThithvA vinihithadhrushO: pAdhukE(a)nanyalakshyam
thvadhrathnEShu prathiPhalithayOrnithyalakshyaprasAdhA
padhmABhUmyOrdhishathi BhavathI pAdhasEvAm murArE:

Oh Paaduka! You are gracious; clear-natured too. You grant to the 
consorts, Mahalakshmi and Bhoomi Devi,-who, unlike You, get the 
previlege of Bhagavat-pada-service only on the Sesha-couch-now gain a 
constant pada-service, by being reflected in Your gems and having 
contact with the Feet in all 
His outings. 

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 728

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam:Swamy Desikan uses 
the double meaning of the words "Prasaadham " and
"Paadha SevA" in this verse to suggest how the PaadhukAs
help SrI Devi and BhU Devi , when the Lord travels. 
He says: " Oh PaadhukE! When Your Lord leaves on His travels 
transported by You , both SrI Devi and BhU Devi miss their wonted
pressing services of their Lord's feet . You recognize their 
pangs of sorrow over the loss of kaimkaryam. You rise to 
the occasion and by containing their images on Your gems, 
You unite them thus with their Lord. Out of Your affection for them ,
You serve them and unite them to their consort in this
vicarious manner. Thus the consorts of the Lord continue 
their uninterrupted service to the Lord's sacred feet.

2)SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:The inner meaning is that the Lord
displays more mercy to AchAryAs than to His Devis.

3)During the sportive travel sessions (kELi sanchAra kaalE),
of the Lord , He has the sole companionship of the Paadhukais
(ThvAm yEkAmEva adhigathavatha: Murari). The two consorts of
the Lord stand by the PaadhukAis with undivided attention
and see themselves reflected on the bright gems of the Paadhukais
( paarsvE sTithvA ananyalakshyam vinihitha dhrusO: thvadhrathnEshu
prathiphalithayO: PadhmA-BhUmyO:). This appears to be an effort of
Paadhukais to give joy to the two DEvis through the Paadha sEvai
of the Lord( PadhmA-BhUmyO: nithya lakshya prasAdhA MurArE:
paadhasEvAm disathi)...(V.S).
