Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

634. rAmAnuvrutthijatilE Bharathasya moULoU
rangADhirAjapadhapankajarakshiNi! thvam
EkAthapathrithajagathrithayA dhvithIyam
mukthAmshuBhi: kruthavathI navamAthapathram

Oh Paaduka! It was You, as a monarch, who brought all worlds under 
one umbrella. When You sat on the head of Bharata, who sported matted 
locks of hair, in the true footsteps of Rama, You rightly created a 
second umbrella-of the halo from pearls-a secondless umbrella at that.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 634

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Padhukai protecting 
the lotus feet of RanganAthA! BharathA wore You on his
matted locks, when You ruled the earth as the representative
of Raamachandran.You had then the white umbrella over Your head
to symbolize Your soverignity over the earth. BharathA was
carrying out Your orders as Your representative. Out of
compassion for BharathA's suffering and admiration for his
noble character , You seem to have created a second umbrella 
through the rays of Your pearls to honor him.You were having
the ancient umbrella of the emperors of IshvAku line over 
Your throne. BharathA had the new umbrella constructed 
especially for him by Yourself with the rays of Your pearls.

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that 
the honors accorded by the people of the world for those 
who comprehend the true meanings of Swamy NammazhwAr's
paasurams is not as great as their own comforting knowledge 
about the comprehension of the tatthvams revealed in 
those paasurams.


3) Oh Padhukis protecting the Lord of SrIrangam's lotus feet
(RangAdhirAja padha pankaja rakshiNi)! You became the emperor 
over all the three worlds after Your coronation ceremony
performed by Bharathan. The white umbrella of the IshvAku
kulam was seen then over Your head to denote Your status as
the Emperor of the three worlds ( Thvam yEkAthapathritha 
Jagath thritayA ). At that time, You created through the assembly 
of Your pearls a second white umbrella to be held over 
the matted locks of BharathA, which reminded one of His
brother's matted locks ( jaDilE Bharathasya mouLou 
mukthAmsubhi: navam dhvithIyam aathapathram kruthavathI)..(V.S)
