Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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


813. aBhithO maNipAdhukE! sPhuranthyasthava 
rEKhAvithathEsthaThAviDhAyA: 
muravaIripadhAravindharUDaIranukalpAyithamADhirAjyachinhaI:

Oh Manipaaduka! Now that we have seen above that You have status-
proclaiming streaks on all Your sides, the streaks delineating Vajra, 
Ankusa, etc, thereby emphasizing the Lord's Superlordhip are 
relegated to the background; the Lord's are secondary to Yours! This 
is proof that by this indication You enjoy a superiority over the 
Lord Himself. (The implication is that the devotees, Azhwars, and 
Acharyas, deserve greater reverence than the Lord)

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkma 813:

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam:Oh MaNi PaadhukE! As referred to
earlier, Your surface is decorated with all the lines and patterns 
seen on Your Lord's feet and others contributed by the DevAs. All 
these lines and patterns on the Lord's feet are evidences for the 
Lord's status as the Master of LeelA and Nithya (bhOga) vibhUthis. By 
having additional lines and patterns on Your surface , You appear to 
excel Him as a soverign of the two VibhUthis ( Iswaryams).

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:The inner meaning is that our Lord is 
the Emperor of the universe due to His unparalleled beauty , DayA and 
forbearance. In these aspects, AchAryAs are one step loftier than 
their Lord .

3) Oh PaadhukE ! Your surface is decorated with shining lines and 
patterns on all the four sides( abhitha: sphuranthyA taTAvidhAyaa: 
tava rEkhA vithatE:). Your Lord bears the lakshaNams of the Emperor 
of the world through the rEkhAs on the sole of His sacred feet 
(Muravairi padhAravindha rooDai: aadhirAjya chihnams). The additional 
lines on Your surface qualify You to exceed the status of Your Lord ( 
Tava rEkhA vithatE: aadhirAjya chihnai: anukalpAyithAm)...(V.S).
