Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

732. maDhujiththanukAnthithaskarANAm jaladhAnAmaBhayam viDhAthukAmA
chapalEva thadhamGhrimAshrayanthI BhavathI kAnchanapAdhukE! 
viBhAthi

Oh Gold Paaduka! The clouds had ostensibly stolen the complexion from 
the Lord; perhaps they sent You to plead with the Lord and afford 
safety for the clouds. On such a mission the lightning sent had 
remained as gold Paaduka at the Lord's Feet, I conjecture!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 732 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Golden PaadhukE! 
You appear like the golden lightning that has arrived 
at the Lord's feet to beg the Lord to forgive the clouds
that stole the bluish-black lustre of His. Swamy Desikan
imagines why the PaadhukAs appear like a bolt of lightning
at the Lord's feet. He says that the Paadhukais have
taken that color and form (of the lightning) to plead on
behalf of the clouds of the rainy season that stole 
the unique lustre of the Lord. 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE! When one 
experiences your extraordinary lustre, one is reminded 
of the golden-hued lightning. The lightning normally 
resides inside the rainy clouds.Why should it be seen 
now at the Thiruvadi of the Lord ? The lightning is
considered as the wife of the rainy cloud, which stole
the beautiful color of the Lord.The lightning appears
to have arrived at the Lord's Thiruvadi to plead 
forgiveness for her husband's apachAram to the Lord. 

3)The rainy clouds have acquired the dark bluish hue
through the act of stealing of the Lord's hue ( Madhujith 
Tanu kAnthi taskaranam). Those bluish-black rain-laden clouds
want to be free from the fear of punishment from the Lord 
for their daring act of stealing of the kAnthi of the Lord 
( JaladhAnAm abhayam vidhAthukAmA ). Who is going to interced
with the Lord and beg Him not to be angry at the Cloud?
It is only the wife of the cloud, the lightning that is
going to do it by firmly holding on to the feet of the merciful
Lord ( Abhayam vidhAthukAmA Tadhangrim aasrayanthee Chapalaa).
Oh Golden PaadhukE! You shine like that golden lightning
( Thvam ChapalEva vibhAthi)..(V.S).
