Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

790. maDhyE krushAmuBhayatha: prathipannavruDdhim
manyE samIkshya BhavathIm maNipAdharakshE!
nithyam mukundhapadhasanghamaviprayOgoU
nischinvathE kruthaDhiya: suKhadhuKhakAShTAm

Oh Paaduka! You are narrow in the middle, but wider on either side 
i.e. front and rear. This is attributed by knowledgable scholars, to 
the impressive contact with the Lord's Foot on either sides but lack 
of such contact in the middle. As has been said, well-being is 
defined God-contact and suffering, the loss of contact with God. 

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 790

1) UthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh MaNi PaadhukE! adiyEn concludes that 
the learned scholars intrepret correctly that Your mid-portion is 
slender and the front and back portions are ample. They connect that 
slendereness to sorrow in not having the intimate connection with 
Your Lord's feet; likewise,they relate the ample dimensions of Your 
front and back to the strong imprint of Your Lord's feet in those 
regions. 

The seperation and association with the Lord's feet at the diffferent 
sections of the PaadhukAs are connected to the leanness born out of 
sorrow and the healthy ampleness arising from the joy of intimate 
contact. Lord's feet has the shape of the shell of tortoise according 
to the texts of beauty . Therefore , the mid-portion of His feet are 
elevated and do not come in to contact with the waist region of 
the PaadhukAs. On the other hand, the weight of the Lord's body is 
distributed throughout the front and hind portions of His feet , 
which in turn come in to intimate contact with the upper and lower 
portions of th PaadhukAs.

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE! Scholars have concluded 
that the happiness of intimate contact of Your Lord's feet in the 
front and back regions of Your form has created ampleness. The mid 
region however is slender as though it is an outcome of sorrow from 
lack of intimate contact there with Your Lord's feet.

3) VidhvAns( kruthadhiya:) analyze that Your robust form in the front 
as well as back ( ubhayatha: prathipanna vruddhim) and the slender 
form in Your mid region (madhyE krusAm) is due to the happy and 
sorrowful moods experienced by these respective regions from the 
ample contact or otherwise with the Lord's feet. Ampleness comes form 
the intimate union with the Lord's feet (Padha sangam).
Slenderness arises from the lack of such intimate contact ( Vipra 
yOgam). This heights in happiness and sorrow indicated by ampleness 
and slenderness are linked by VidhvAns to intimate contact in the 
front and back and lack of it in the middle region of Your body ( 
Sukha Dukkha kAshDAm niscchinvathE)...(V.S)
