Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

746. kanakamapi thruNam yE manvathE vItharAga:
thruNamapi kanakam thE jAnathE thvathprakAshaI:
maDhuripupadharakshE! yath thvadharThOpanIthAn
pariNamayasi haImAn dhEvi! dhUrvAnkurAdhIn

Oh Lord's Paaduka! Whosoever, without any other attachment whatever, 
treat even gold as mere grass, will see-by virtue of the wisdom You 
gave them-the glitter from You falling on it, gold even in a grass of 
Doorvankura (dedicated to You in archana).

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 746

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukAs of Madhusoodhana!
Dispassionate devotees of Yours consider even the valuable 
gold as equivalent in value to a worthless blade of grass.
They benefit from the true knowledge that You conferred 
on them and salute You for Your powers in converting 
the blades of grass (presented during Your worship) in to
Gold. Your golden rays fall on the blades of grass 
and transform them in to gold. Your devotees are known for 
their VairAgyA (dispassion) and hence they show no interest 
in the gold. Although they are impressed with Your power
to convert lowly objects in to gold, they have no desire
for worldly wealth .

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE! Those who have
deep bhakthi for PerumAL consider gold as being worthless
as a blade of grass. Even for those virakthAs, You make them 
consider those blades of grass as being equal in value to 
that of gold. When your golden lustre falls on the aruham pull
(panic grass ) collected for Your worship , those blades of
grass look like gold and become valuable to Your bhakthAs.

The inner meaning is that even those who are born low and
do not have any scholarship get to know the inner meanings
of the Paasurams of Swamy NammAzhwAr due to AzhwAr's grace.
When they become blessed this way , then even those of
exalted birth and scholars celelbrate the one of low birth
and status with reverence.

3)Oh PaadhukAs of the Lord ,who destroyed the asuran
named Madhu (Madhuripu PadharakshE)! BhakthAs of PerumAL
are devoid of desires for worldly wealth( veetha RaagA:).
They think even of gold as a worthless blade of grass
( yE kanakamapi thruNam manvathE). Even these VairAgyasAlis,
look at the transformation that you brought on the panic 
grass bundle assembled before you for your worship and
how you changed them in to gold through Your golden lustre.
(tE thruNamapi Thvath prakAsai: kanakam jaanathE). The blades
of aruham pul placed before You takes on the golden sheen as
Your golden rays fall on them ( yath ThavtharTOpaneethAn
dhUrvAnkurAdhIn haimAn pariNamayasi)..(V.S)
