Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

596. sampadhyathE thava padhAvani! padhmarAgaI:
prasThAnamAngaLikahOmahuthAshanashrI:
kshIrAhuthirBhavathi yathra vikalpaganga
rangEshvarasya ruchirA naKharashmiDhAra

Oh Paaduka! As Lord Ranganatha is on an outing, a Homa for auspices 
is perhaps being performed. You with padmaraga gems become the fire; 
the stream of white flow-like milk-of the halo of rows of nails in 
the Lord's Feet, becomes the Ahuti, perhaps another Ganga river, 
since this also flows out of the Lord's Feet.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 596

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Here Swamy Desikan compares 
the effulgence of the rubies to that of the sacred flames of a 
sacrifice in which milk is poured as the oblation . He compares the 
glow of rubies to that of Agni used in the Vedic sacrifices. He 
draws an analogy between the milk and the white effulgence of the 
Lord's toe nails . He wonders whether the white milk--like flow from 
the Lord's toe nails is the flow of GangA rushing out of the nails. 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! The red rubie are 
enmeshed on You . The red lustre of the rubies mixes with the white
lustre of the toe nails of the Lord . This admixture seems like the 
Lord performing homam with milk in the red jwAlais of Your rubies 
during the time of His sanchAram . 

3) There is a homam known as PrasTAna MaangaLika Homam that
Is performed prior to sanchArams. When Lord does this hOmam prior to 
His travels (vijaya YaathrAs) , the red rubies with their lustre 
heighten the effulgence (shObai) of the Agni ( PadmarAgai: SrI: 
sampadhyathE ). In that Agni , the flow of the white lustre of the 
toe nails of the Lord (RangEswarasya nakha rasmi dhArA ) , is like
the offering of milk ( KshIrAhuthi: )?(V.S).
