Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

815. thridhashamakutarathnOllEKharEKhApadhEshAth
pariNamayasi pumsAm pAdhukE! mUrDhni lagnA
narakamaThanasEvAsampadham sADhayithrI
niyathiviliKhithAnAm niShkruthim dhurlipInAm

Oh Paaduka! When You are placed on human heads, the streaks on You 
(resulting from the devas' crowns rubbing against the Paaduka during 
obeisance) remove the bad streaks, called bad fate-letters written by 
Brahma. They thus become blessed with great affluence of Service to 
the Lord. (The placement of Paaduka on one's head changes his fate 
for the best. One can change one's fate by resorting to Acharyas, 
Bhagavatas, etc).

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 815 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Paadhukai of the Lord ,
who destroyed NarakAsuran ! When You are placed on the heads 
of Your devotees , the lines on You caused by the DevA's crowns 
erase the inauspicious letters carved by Brahama dEvan on their skulls
at the time of their creation. Their sins are removed as a result and
they become blessed to perform service to Your Lord.

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam :Oh PaadhukE! the collision of the 
hard gems adorning the crown of prostrating dEvAs with Your soft 
surface leaves a lot of uneven marks . Through those rEkhAs , You 
destroy the moksha virOdhis of the chEthanams that prostrate before 
You by wiping off the bad signs written on their skulls at the time 
of their birth. 

3) Oh PaadhukE ! You make it possible for the chEthanams to gain
Moksha Iswaryam ( Kaimkaryam for the Lord , who destroyed NarakAsuran)
by staying on their heads ( Thvam NarakamaTana sEvAsampadham 
saadhayathree). This happens through your staying on the heads of 
the prostrating chEthanams ( PumsAm Moordhni lagnA Thvam 
NarakamaTana mOkshasampadham Saadhayathree). The instrument
for such transformation are the rEkhAs arising from the scratches ( 
ullEkha ) of the hard gems on the heads of prostrating dEvAs ( 
Thridasa makuDa rathna ullEkha rEkhA apadEsAth). Those rEkhAs act as 
the excuse (apadEsam) to wipe out the bad writings on the heads of 
the suffering chEthanams( rEkhA apadEsAth niyathi vilikhitAnAm 
dhurlibheenAm nishkruthim pariNamayasi)...(V.S). 

Post Script: Today is DheepawaLi day of SvabhAnu Samvathsaram .
As adiyEn wrote these special notes , it is striking that the Lord's
vaibhavam of destroying the unrighteous NarakAsuran linked itself up
through the vaak of Swamy Desikan on this special day of DhIpAwaLi.
The salutation to the Lord as NarakamaTanan is such a fortunate
coincidence for this special festival day (Otober 24, 2003).
