Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

715. upanIthamupAyanam surEndhraI:
     prathibimbacChalathasthvayi praviShtam
     svayamEva kila prasAdhaBhUmnA
     prathigruhNAsi mukundhapAdhukE! thvam

Oh Paaduka! The Deva chiefs come with their respectful offerings to 
the Lord. Those materials on being reflected on You create a vision 
in one's imagination as though You, in Your great kindness received 
their offerings meant for the Lord (as an attendant would do)!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S)

SlOkam 715

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Mukundha PaadhukE! 
The reflections of the fruits and flowers that the DevAs 
bring to You as offerings are seen on Your gems. Out of
Your kindness , You appear to recieve them directly through 
the route of their images. Normally , devotees bring fruits
and flowers and leave it in front of their Gods. Here ,
it appears that the special compassion of the PaadhukAs permits
the offerings to be recieved directly by the PaadhukAs  through 
their images of the offerers seen on the gems of the Paadhukais. 

2) SrImath Andavan's  anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE! the upahArams 
(offerings) brought by the devAs are reflected on Your mirror
like gems.Those BhimBhams suggest that You recieve those
offerings directly from them. 

3)Oh Mukundha PaadhukE! The exalted DevAs (SurEndrA: ) bring
with them offerings for You (upaneetham upAyanam).The images
(Bhimbhams) are reflected (prathibhimBhams) on the clear
surfaces of the gems on the Paadhukais through the power
of their (gem's) clarity ( prasAdha bhUmnA).That scene 
looks as though You are directly recieving their SamarpaNams
(prasAdha bhUmnA svayamEva prathigruhNAsi iva)..(V.S).
