Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

566. shankE padhAvani! sadhA parichinvathI thvam
rangEshithuscharaNapankajasoUkumAryam
agrE mahOBhiraruNOpalamoUkthikAnAm 
prAjyAm vinikshipasi pallavapuShpapankthim

Oh Paaduka! I fain imagine that the red gems and pearls are tender 
leaves and flowers spread on You, by Your own self, in view of the 
high tenderness of the Lord's Feet!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 566

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE!You enjoy the softeness 
and beauty of Your Lord's lotus feet. As He travels on You, adiyEn 
visualizes the combined lustres of pearls and rubies adorning You as 
abundant rows of creepers and flowers.

2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! There are red rubies and 
white pearls on Your surface. When Your Lord travels adorning You, 
their lustre spreads all around. That scene brings the thought that 
You spread tender creepers and flowers on the hard, stony path 
overwhich Your Lord has to travel. This way, You protect His soft 
feet from being hurt by the harsh stones & thorns. The inner meaning 
is that Swamy NammAzhwAr softens the hard hearts of people by 
upadesams on the auspicious attributes of the Lord and prepare them
(hard-hearted ones) to receive PerumAL in their hearts. AchAryAL's 
upadesam and anugraham are thus important to raise PeriumAl 
consciousness in people .

3) Oh RangEsa PadhAvani! You always enjoy the softness of Your Lord's 
sacred feet(Thvam SadhA CharaNa Pankaja soukumAryam parichinvathy) .  
In Your front portion, the effulgence of the red rubies and the 
white pearls are dominant. Their assembly looks like the spreading 
of many rows of red flowers and tender creepers( Thvam agrE 
aruNOpala MoukthikAnAm mahObhi: pallava-Pushpa prAjyAm pankthim 
vinikshipasi sankE)? This way , You seem to spread the soft flowers 
and tender creepers before Your Lord's path ?..(V.S)
