Word breakdown

शमादिषट्कप्रदवैभवाभ्यां
Whose glory bestows the six virtues beginning with shama,
समाधिदानव्रतदीक्षिताभ्याम् ।
initiated in the vow of granting samadhi,
रमाधवाङ्घ्रिस्थिरभक्तिदाभ्यां
givers of steady devotion to the feet of Rama's lord.
नमो नमः श्रीगुरुपादुकाभ्याम् ॥७॥
Salutations, salutations to the blessed sandals of the Guru.

The sixfold discipline and samadhi flow from the Guru who steadies devotion to the Lord. In Advaita, steady bhakti at Vishnu's feet and the ripeness for knowledge are one path seen from two sides.
