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

Oh Paduka! You become the only worthy ornament for the lovable Feet
of 
the Supreme Being for the path treaded upon by the Feet in the Lord's 
movements for the head of the Vedas, that is, the Upanishads for the 
heart of this humble self.

Namo Narayana,

Special notes by V.Satakopan (V.S):
***********************************

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swami's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE !
You are the decoration/aabharanam for the Lord's holy feet ;
You serve also as decoration for the novel and
mysterious routes taken by the Lord in union with You.
Further , You become the decoration for the heads of
the Upanishads by resting on them .adiyEn contemplates
on Your Lord's feet , His novel routes and the Upanishads
associated with You to acquire You as a decoration
also for my mind.

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PadhukE! PerumAL, who
is eulogized by the Upanishads wears You on His sacred feet
and travels on the streets of Srirangam with joy. AdiyEn
considers You as the decoration for my head and meditate
on that sweet anubhavam .

with them / tath anugrAhya vihAra paddhathE: bhUshanam
