Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

783. thava ranganarEndhrapAdharakshE!
prakruthi: sannapi BhakthipArathanthryAth
BhavathIm vahathIva pannagEndhra:
praThithasvasthikalakshaNaI: shirOBhi:

Oh Paaduka! Adisesha is Your original model so to say, ince he has taken
Your form (as other forms too). Nevertheless, by dint of intense devotion
to You, he bears on his thousand hoods, the shape of Paaduka, as
the Swastika (or thuthi) symbol-paying homage to you that way !

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

SlOkam 783

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Ranganatha PadhukE! AdhisEshahas taken
Your form
because of his great regard and devotion for you .He wears yet on the back
of his thousand
hoods as a foot print or mark of auspiciousness. AdisEsha wears the symbol
known as
Swathi on his hoods , which is made up of two linked PaadhukAs . Even if
AdisEsha has
taken Your form already , he still wears the Swasthi mark on his thousand
hoods out of
the great respect he has for You.

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The sannivEsam ( appearance ) of Paadhukai
is
like PerumAL's ThiruvadikaL.There is also a mark on the hood of AdhisEsha ,
which is like PerumAl's Thiruvadi.When one looks at this insignia, it
appears
as though AdisEshan , who has taken the avathAram of Paadhukai still
wishes to carry on His head the Paadhukai out of reverence for the
Paadhukai.
The inner meaning is that AchAryAs are eternally liberated souls (nitya
sooris)
and even when they incarnate as AchAryAs , they celebrate the AchAryAs.

3) Oh PaadhukE! Although AdhisEshan is the source of Your avathAram
(PannagEndhra: Tava Prakruthi: sannapi) , He carries You in the form of
Svasthika on His hoods ( PraTitha Svasthika: lakshaNai: sirObhi: vahathi).
This he does because of his great reverence for You and is bound by
his devotion to You ( Bhakthi paaratantryAth bhavatheem vahathi)...(V.S).

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan
