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

 

335. ArADhya nUnamasurArdhanapAdhukE! thvAm

AmuShmikAya viBhavAya sahasrapathraI:

manvantharEShu parivarthiShu dhEvi! marthyA;

paryAyatha: pariNamanthi sahasranEthrA:

 

Oh Paaduka Devi! Those who perform archana to You with

thousand-petalled lotuses, for high pleasures of possession of

heavens, will serially be honoured with the thousand eyed Indra's

post in the prospective 'manvantara periods', ever so many,

to come off, hence forward!

 

(A manvantara is one day-time of Brahma, ruled by one incumbent in

Indra's post).

 

 

Namo Narayana,

**********************************************

(1) Abhinava Desikan's anubhavam: Oh VishNu PaadhukE with

power to destroy the asurAs! Mortals wishing a good life during

the here-after , worship You with thousand-petalled lotuses and

qualify thereby to attain the position of IndrA in a future

manvantharam (age).( BrahmA's day is made up of many crores of

Human years , That BrahmA's day is split into fourteen equal

divisions known as manvathrams. Each Manvanthram has a new

IndrA serving as the king of DevAs in Svarga Lokam ).

 

(2 MarthyA:(Humans)amushmikAya vibhavaaya ( for wealth

in the other world) thvam sahasra pathrai: aarAdhya

(worship You with thousand petalled lotuses ) and

become IndrAs in furure ManvanthrAs ( SahasranEthrA:

pariNamanthi). Swamy Desikan connects the name of Indran

(SahsranEthran) here with Sahasra-pathra Padhmams (Thousand

petalled lotuses)...V.S
