Translation by U.Ve.Dr. V.N.Vedantha Desikan :
 
SlOkam 902.
 
SamsAradhva srama-pariNathAm samsrithAnAm janAnAm
tApam sadhya: samayithumalam SaarngiNa: PaadhukE Thvam
ChandraapeeDE praNamathy navAm chandrikAm aapiBadhbi:
dhArA niryath salila-kaNikA seekaraiscchandrakAnthai:
 
Oh Lord"s PaadhukA ! Siva who has the moon on his head
is bent low before You in great respect . The moonstones on
You shed torrents of water by the effect of the moon. A drop of
water is adequate to remove the agony suffered by people
by reason of  going round and round the wheel of Samsaara . 
 
Special Notes on SlOkam 902  by V.Sadagopan(V.S) :
 
1. UtthamUr  Swamy's anubhavam: In the earlier verse , Swamy Desikan pointed out
that the PaadhukAs drive away the samsAric afflictions by reducing their heat. 
Since water is important to reduce the heat , He states that the PaadhukAs have
also that element of water in them . He says: " Oh Paadhukais of SaarangapANi ! 
When MahEswara with His crescent Moon decoration bows before You , the rays of 
moon fall on the chandrakAntha stones and produce a stream of water that removes 
the fatigue of the people affected by the heat of SamsAric afflictions ". ChandrakAntha
stones are known to produce water , when Moon's rays fall on them.
 
2. SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:SamsAris wander in the torrid desert of
Taapa Thrayam , shrivel from the heat and rush to the side of the most
merciful PaadhukAs and perform Prapatthi . The ever compassionate
Paadhukais of the Lord of SrIrangam removes the fatigue of the SamsAris
and frees them from their sufferings . How does it quench the heat of
SamsAram ? PadhukAs have chandhrakAntha gems on its surface .
When MahEswaran prostrates before the Paadhukais , the rays from
the crescent Moon on MahEswaran's head fall on the ChandrakAntham
and cause a storage of copious amounts of water inside them. With their
unique property to drink in Moon's rays and transform them to water , they
accomplish this storage of water .When a  suffering SamsAri does Prapathti ,
the water from the ChandrakAntham comes to His rescue and quenches
his samsAric tApams . 
 
3. MahEswaran has the crescent Moon as His head aabharaNam
( ChandrapeeDam vahathi ) . When He prostrates before the Paadhukais,
the cool rays from the new crecent Moon fall on the ChandrakAntham
gems on the Paadhukais ; these gem stones drink up (transfrom )
the moon beams and store up the water inside them( navAm chandrikAm
aapiBadhbhi: dhArA niryath salila karNikaa seekarai: ChandrakAnthai:).
When the samsAris scorched from the tApa trayam approach the Paadhukais
and perform prapatthi , the cool water from the ChandrakAntham gems
quenches instantaneously the samsAric afflictions ( Taapa thrayam sadhya
samayithum alam )...(V.S).
