Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

704. nithyamlakshmInayanaruchiraI: shOBhithA shakranIlaI:
     sAlagrAmakshithiriva shuBhaI: shArngiNO rUpaBhEdhaI:
     sAkEthAdhE: samaDhikaguNAm sampadham dharshayanthI
     mukthikshEthram muniBhiraKhilaI: gIyasE pAdhukE! thvam

Oh Paaduka! You excel in potency, being likened to Salagrama Kshetra, 
which is rightly acclaimed as superior even to ones, such as Ayodhya, 
etc., which are Moksha-granting. The sapphires on You look like the 
many eyes of Mahalakshmi. Sages pronounce You as a Moksha-grantor, 
par excellence!


Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam  704

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Here, Swamy  Desikan asserts 
that service to the PaadhukAs and worship of them is superior to
residence at all the Mukthi kshEthrAs such as AyOdhyA , MathurA,
Kaanchi et al. The PaadhukAs lead the Mukthi KshEthrAs in their
holiness. PaadhukAs in this regard are like SaalaigrAma KshEthram.
Swamy  points out: " SaaLigrama kshEthram removes all sins because
they house all the SrImUrthys. Oh PaadhukE! The blue rays of Your 
sapphires resembling the eyes of MahA Lakshmi shine always with
splendor and surpasses the wealth of Mukthi KshEthrAs such as 
AyOdhyA. All the sages recognize Your glory and consider service
to You as being  better than residing at the seven Mukthi KshEthrAs".

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! The sapphires on
You resemble SaaLigrAmam silAs.The Rishis consider You as 
being holier than the Moksham granitng cities ( AyOdhyA,
MathurA , Kaasi , Kaanchi ,DhwArakA , MaayA and AvanthI).
The inner meaning is that the sadAchaarya sambhandham 
is more powerful route to Moksham than mere residence
at one of the seven Mukthi KshEthrams . Further , such
sambhandham confers specail blessings such as true Jn~Anam ,
Bhootha DayA , KashAnthi/Forbearance to a Jeevan.

3)Oh PaadhukE! Through Your dark color , You shine always
as the beautiful , dark bluish-black eyes of MahA Lakshmi
( LakshmI nayana ruchirai: sakraneelai: nithyam sObhithA).
Through Your dark body , You shine perenially as the field of 
SaaLigrAma silAs( roopa bhEdhai: SaalagrAma kshithiriva 
nithyam sObhithA). You shine in  a manner superior to
the seven mukthi kshEthrams( Thvam SaakEthAdhE: 
samadhikaguNaam sampadham darsayanthI). Therefore ,
Youare worshipped as a veritable Mukthi KshEthram 
by the knowledgable sages (Thvam akhilairmunibhi:
mukthi kshEthram geeyasE)..(V.S).
