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

 

770. mAnayAmi jagathasthamOpahE mADhavasya maNipAdhukE! yuvAm

dhakshiNOttharagathikramOchithE paDdhathI iva mayUKhamAlina:

 

Oh Twin-Paadukas! You both let the stroll of the Lord to occur in the

right and left directions respectively, in His effort to relieve this

world of its grief, even as the sun resorts to the Dakshinayana and

Uttarayana paths in order to dispel the darkness in the world.

 

Namo Narayana,

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

 

SlOkam 770

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Gem-studded PaadhukEs!

You are like the dakshiNAyanam (Winter Solistice) and

UttharAyaNam (Summer solistice)periods of the Sun's

movement. Like the Sun removes the darkness during its travels

during the two ayanams , You (PaadhukAs) also remove the darkness

of spiritual ignorance. Your steps are like the steps taken by

the Sun during its two solistices.

 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh Paadhukais! When we see You

both, You appear like DakshiNAyanam and UttharAyaNam.These two

ayanams banish darkness and bless the world with illumination.

You both banish ajn~Anam and bless Your devotees with true

knowledge. The inner meaning is that a SadAchAryan removes

ajn~Anam and blesses one with Sadh vidhyA through anugrahams

and upadEsams.

 

3)Maadhavasya MaNi PaadhukE! You remove the world's nescience

and we celebrate you for that ( Jagatha: tamOpahE mAnayAmi).

We consider You both as DakshiNAyaNam and UttharAyaNam ,

the two ways of the Sun ( YuvAm dakshiNa -uttharagathi krama

uchithE mayUkamAlina: paddhathi iva mAnayAmi).
