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

 

812. maNimoULiniGharShaNAth surANAm vahasE kAnchanapAdhukE! vichithram

kamalApathipAdhapadhmayOgAdhaparam lakshaNamADhirAjyasAram

 

Oh Paaduka! There are, of course, on Your gold surface, the streaks

caused by the Lord's Feet placed on You. They are in effect,

testimony to Your being the Super-empress of all worlds. Nevertheless

the additional streaks that are carved on You by the friction caused

by the bejewelled crowns of devas, are, I would say, a special and

significant evidence for Your above-mentioned status.

 

Namo Narayana,

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

 

SlOkam 812

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! You carry on Your

surface all the rEkhAs seen on Your Lord's Holy feet. Further,

You carry other lines not seen on Your Lord's holy feet. These new

lines are made from the scratches made by the crowns of DevAs ,

when they prostrate before You. Through these extra rEkhAs generated

by the DevAs, You assert Your soverignity over the DevAs.

 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:PaadhukAs are the queen for all worlds.

This bhAgyam arises form PaadhukA's union with the Lord's holy feet

and the DevAs and BhAgavathAs of the Lord prostrating before them..

 

3) Oh Golden PaadhukE (Kaanchana PaadhukE)! You have a distinct

mark (lakshaNam). That is the prostration of the crowned heads of

the DevAs( Thvam SurANAm maNimouLi nigarshaNAth vichithram) .

You are united with the Lord's lotus soft feet ( KamalApathi paadha-

padma yOgam). As a result, You bear a special distinction of the

title of Empress ( Paadha Paddma yOgAth aparam adhirAjya saaram

lakshaNam vahasE)....(V.S).
