Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

243. padhmAjuShtam Bhajathu charaNam pAdhukA labDhavArA
prathyAsannAsthava parijanA: prAtharAsThAnayOgyA:
arDhOnmEShAdhaDhikasuBhagAm arDhanidhrAnuShangAm
nABhipadhmE thava nayanayOrnATha! pashyanthu shOBhAm

(Vaitalikas wake the Lord up:) "Oh Ranganatha! May the Paaduka secure 
its turn to enjoy Your 
Feet that were so far enjoyed in service of Mahalakshmi! Your private 
attendants are waiting 
to see Your half-wake and half-asleep eyes, which are charming for 
that very reason, this 
charm also being reflected in the half-blossomed navel-lotus (by 
reason of the simultaneous 
impact of an eye that is sun and the other eye that is moon)".

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S)
***********************************
(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam:Oh RanganAthA!
May the Paadhukais get reunited with Your holy feet
comforted (pressed ) by the lotus-soft hands of
MahA Lakshmi!Your lotus-soft eyes are half open like
the lotus flowers at dawn. Your sevants have assembled
now in the outter courtyard and are waiting for You to
open Your eyes fully and command them about their duties .
Since You have to wear Your PaadhukAs to move about
and since it will be difficult for You to get into them ,
when Your eyes are half-open , please open them fully.
When You open Your eyes fully at dawn in response to
our (Upanishad's) prayers , the only half-open lotus
left would be the one growing out of Your navel that
houses Your son, BrahmA .

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh Lord RanganAthA !
At the morning time, when Your servants are assembled
at Your outter court, Your eyes are half-open and half-shut.
The lotus on your navel is in the same state because
of the effect of your two eyes ( the Sun and the Moon )
on them {( Lotus flowers open on seeing the Sun and close
at sunset { moon rise }} . May Your servants enjoy
this rare sight at dawn ! May Thou wear the PaadhukAs
on Your sacred feet pressed by the lotus-soft hands of
Periya PirAtti and grant Your darsanam to Your servants !

(3) The holy feet of the Lord are " PadhmA jushtam charaNam "
( the sacred feet worshipped by Sri RanganAyaki). The Paadhukais
have the rights of association with the holy feet pressed by
Sri RanganAyaki. May those Paadhukais be united with Your
holy feet ( PadhmA jushtam charaNam bhajathu) at this dawn !
The seravants blessed to serve You at Your Morning court
have assembled closely ( prAtharAsthAna YogyA : tava parijanA:
prathyAsannA:). May Thou adorn Your PaadhukAs and walk
to the outter court to let Your servants enjoy Your
half-open and half-closed eyes at dawn , which have their
own extraordinary beauty ( ardhOnmEshAth adhika subhagAm
ardhanidhrAnushangAm nayana sObhAM ) and influence the lotus
on Your navel, which is also half-open and half-shut (nayanayO:
sObhAm naabhi padhmE pasyanthu)..V.S
