Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:
896. aBhyasthyanthyO: kramamanupamam rangaBharthurvihArE

shinjAnAdha: sPhurathi yuvayO: shrunkalAbanDharamya:
Oh Paaduka! When the Lord holds You and walks, each one of Your
steps, alternately resembles the Veda-Krama-patha. As the swara
varies in the Vedic recitation, as Udatta-Anudatta, Your Paaduka-step
sound too varies as You step on a pit or a mound. It goes on a chain-
like melody strain in both cases.
Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
slOkam 896
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Earlier in the 892nd verse , Swamy
Desikan compared the PaadhukAs to Krama Paatam way of rendering
the VedAs . He says: " Oh PaadhukE ! When Lord RanganAtha moves about
assisted by You , He takes one step after the other . The sounds
generated during those step-wise movements are never the same because
of the variations of the elevations of the earth. In this regard,
Your sounds are similar to the sounds of the VedAs , which are never
repetetive because the intonations (SwarAs) are constantly changing
even if the same word repeats itself in a manthrA ".
2. SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PadhukE! When Your Lord goes on
SanchAram and adopts different gathis ( movements ) such as the gait
of a lion ( Simha Gathi ), elephant gait ( Gaja gathi) , tiger gathi
( SaardhUla Gathi), Bull gathi ( Vrushabha gathi) and Serpent gathi (
Sarpa gathi), UyyAra nadai, You replicate it in tune with those
movements. The bells on You generate various plesant ensemble of
naadham that is delightful to listen to. The sequential movement
of each of You as a pair remind one of the two Veda PaarAyaNa
ghOshtis following the Lord responding to each other. One ghOshti has
samhithA paarAyaNam and that is followed by the other ghOshti
reciting krama paatam of the same passage. The difference is only in
the Svarams that change in the two versions. It is like a chain made
up of sequential links.
3.The topic is about the beauty of the sweet naadham (SruthyAdhAra:
sinjAnAdha: ) raised by the gems inside the yanthrikA (Toe hold ) of
the PaadhukAs; latter respond to the different gaits relating to the
SanchArams of the Lord in a sequential manner through their own
naadha kramam . That reminds one of a beautifully constructed chain
made of individual links ( ramya: srungalA-Bhandha iva sphurathi )...
