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

 

805. anuyAthamanOraThA murArE-

BhavathI kELiraThAshriyam dhaDhAthi

charaNAvani!yanthrikA thavaIShA

thanuthE kUbharasasampadham purasthAth

 

Oh Paaduka! You are a toy-chariot following the footsteps of the

Lord; You may be regarded as moving behind the Chariot of the Will of

the Lord. For You, the pole in the front is being kept in position by

the pegs that the knobs act as.

 

Namo Narayana,

 

SriMuralidhara Dasan

 

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

 

SlOakm 805

 

1) UthtamUr Swamy's anubhaavam: Oh Padhukai protecting the Lord's

feet! You are like the chariot on which Your Lord rides for His

sports. Your YanthrikA is like the riding pin on the yoke in front of

that chariot ". ( The yoke is attached to the rest of the chariot by

two wodden pegs that are essential for the integrity of the Chariot

and its safe movement).

 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:The inner meaning is that the

SadAchAryans are firmly yoked to the Lord's sacred feet and therefore

our Lord grants all soubhAgyams to those, who have sought the refuge

of the SadAchAryAs.

 

3) Oh PaadhukE! You are deeply attached to those that seek refuge

with You (anuyAtha manOraTA ). You adorn the lustre of the chariot

used for His travel pleasures ( Bhavathee MurArE: kELiraTa sriyam

dhadhAthi). This YanthrikA on You (yEsha yanthrikA) creates the

appearnace of the riding pin ( yErkkAl) on the chariot of the Lord...
