Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

865. AsannavrutthiravarODhagruhEShu shoUrE-
rApAdhayasyanupadham varavarNinInAm
AlagnarathnakiraNA maNipAdhukE! thvam
manjusvanA madhanabhANaniGharShashankAm

Oh Manipaaduka! You take the Lord along to the harem. The rays from 
the gems spread all around. Your gait releases melody too. These two 
occur frequently; it creates an impression that Cupid's arrows are 
being rubbed on the touchstone of Your surface in order to captivate 
the 
Divine Consorts. 

The Paaduka and its melody are the right cause for humans to develop 
devotion to God. Paaduka being Azhvar, his works have got a major 
role in creating Bhakti-bhava in men.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S)

SlOkam 865

1) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! When the Lord travels 
with You generating auspicious naadham and spreading 
Your beautiful , multi-colored rays , the Devis of the Lord in their 
inner chambers develop a special passion for their Lord. It is like 
the end result of Manmathan sharpening His arrows and generating 
sound and light in that process to afffect the mind set of the Devis.

2) MaNi Padhukais of the Lord of Srirangam are near His inner 
chambers, where His Devis live ( SourE: avarOdhagruhEshu 
aasannavrutthi: ). The Paadhukais have both kaanthi from their gems ( 
aalagna rathna kiraNA ) and sweet sounds (manjuswanA ). As the 
PaadhukAs take each step (anupadham) and transports the Lord to His 
inner chambers , it creates the impression of Manmathan sharpening 
his arrows to heighten the passion of the Lord's Devis (anupadham 
Madana bhANa nigarsha sankhAm aapaadhayasi)...(V.S)
