Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

699. paricharathi viDhoU thvAm pAdhukE! rangaBharthu:

Oh Paaduka! When the Lord scaled all the worlds in His Trivikrama 
avatara, Brahma performed ablution to You. The flow called Ganga was 
respectfully received by Siva on his head. Your sapphire gems, which 
incidentally look like bees hovering around the lotus feet, generated 
the black Yamuna. Thus the confluence, Prayaga, was also created.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 699

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! When Brahmaa 
performs His worship to You , Rudran stands next with his bent 
head.The blue rays of Your sapphire fall at that time on Rudran's
head and blends with the river Ganga there. The union of 
the blue rays with the white floods of Ganga make it look like 
PrayAg , where the dark-hued waters of Yamuna mix with 
the clear waters of GangA. 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! BrahmA performs 
AarAdhanam for You. At that time , his son SivA stands by 
the side of his father. When SivA prostrates before You 
at the conclusion of the worship , the bluish rays from
Your sapphires fall on the matted locks of SivA holding the waters 
of GangA river . The admixture of the dark hued sapphire 
rays with the white flood of Ganga reminds one of the co-presence
of dark colored YamunA waters with the clear waters of GangA 
as at PrayAg.The inner soul of Your Lord's sacred feet are 
soft like the petals of the red lotus. Your sapphire stones are
like the bluish-balck bees for that Lotus flower. 

3)BrahmA worships the lotus feet of Your Lord
adorning You with sapphire gems that reminds one
of the association of dark bluish bees with lotus
flower . Those lotus like ThiruvadigaL of Your Lord
are worshipped by BrahmA (Rangabharthu: padha sarasija
brungai: bhAsurai: Indhraneelai: ThvAm prakadithaa ).
Brahma performs aaarAdhanam for those sacred lotus feet
of Your Lord adorned with Your (Paadhukai's) sapphire 
enmeshed form ( ThvAm Vidhou paricharathi ). When 
the Lord's grandson prostratrates during that occasion ,
then one experieces a veritable PrayAg ( PrayAgam 
pariNamayasi). How does that happen? It results from
the intermingling of the dark waters of YamunA 
( the dark bluish-black rays of the sapphires adorning
the Paadhukais) with the white waters of GangA
present in the matted locks of SivA (Thvam Bhakthi
namrasya SambhO: chUDA VishNupadhyA: prayAgam 
PariNamayasi)...(V.S).
