SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

 

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

 

774. dhvAvEva yathra charaNoU paramasya pumsa:

thathra dhviDhA sThithavathI maNipAdhukE! thvam

yathraIva dharshayathi dhEvi! sahasrapAtthvam

thathrApi nUnamasi dharshithathAvadhAthmA

 

Oh Manipaaduka Devi! When the supreme Lord is with but two feet, You

remain like this as a twin-Paaduka. When, however, He takes one form

say, of a thousand feet, You fittingly resort to a thousand forms to

befit the Feet.

 

Namo Narayana,

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

 

SlOkam 774

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh MaNi Paadhukais!

During the incarnation of the Lord as a human being like

Raama and Krishna , You support Him as a pair of PaadhukAs

to protect His sacred feet. Lord is capable of taking other

incarnations, where He might have thousand feet. Even then ,

You take the form of thousand pair of PaadhukAs and rise

to the occasion to perform Your kiamkaryam.

 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam : Oh Mani PaadhukE! If the Lord

has two Thiruvadis , then You take the form of a matching pair.

If He chooses to give His sEvai with thousand feet , You take

the form of thousand pairs to support them.(The inner meaning

is that AchAryAs fit exactly with the ThiruvuLLam of their

Lord).

 

3)Oh MaNi PaadhukE! When Lord takes archAvathAram and

displays two sacred feet , then You become a matching pair

( Paramasya Pumsa: Yathra charaNou dhvAvEva , Tathra

Thvam dhvidhA sTithavathee). When Your Lord takes on

a form with thousand ThiruvadigaL (Sahasra Paadh), then

You match them as fitting thousand pairs ( Yathra

sahasrapAthamEva darsayathi, Tathra darsitha thAvadhAthmApi

asi). This is for sure( noonam)!
