Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

839. acChEdhyarashminiyathakramarathnaDhuryA
niShkampakUbaraniBham dhaDhathI prathIkam
krIdAgathEShu maDhukithpadhapadhmalakshmyA:
karNIraThasthvamasi kAnchanapAdharakshE!

Oh gold Paaduka! For the Mahalakshmi allegorically conceived of in 
the effulgent beauty of the Lord's Lotus Feet, You serve as a toy-
chariot to ride on. Your rays are abundant; they come in streams; You 
also have beautiful arrays of gems and peg-like knob for the carriage-
pole. The horses are controlled in their pace by means of the goad-
chord kept in hand.

(The Lord rides on the chariot (of acharyas) to achieve His goal of 
reformation of the humans).

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S ):
SlOkam 839

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Swamy Desikan assembles 
the gems, Yantrika (toe hold) and the movement of the PaadhukAs
to compare them to a moving chariot. He says: " Oh Golden
PaadhukE ! Your gems have rays, whose brillinace is indestructible.
These gems are set in uniform rows and appear like the leather bait 
attached to the mouth of the horses that pull a chariot . Your 
measured steps are like the noble steps of high pedigree horses. Your 
Yantrika serves as the binding pin of the Yokes carried by the horses 
pulling a chariot. With all these features , You look like a chariot 
for the resplendent beauty of the Lord's feet used for His travels.

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! Beautiful gems are 
enmeshed on Your surface. When one looks at You, the impression 
that one gets is that of a chariot for the beautiful consort of
the Lord (SrI Devi), who is sititng at the sacred feet of Her Lord.

3) Oh Golden PaadhukE ( Kaanchana PaadharakshE ) ! You appear 
like the chariot for the divine consort of the Lord seated on the 
Lotus feet of Her Lord to transport Her during Her times of play ( 
Thvam Madhujith padha padhma LakshmyA: kreeDAgathEshu karNeeraTa: 
asi)....(V.S).
