SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

586. pashyanthi rangEshvarapAdhukE! thvAm poUrAnganA: 
sparshitharAgabhanDhAm shrungArayOnErjvalanasya dhIpthaI: 
angArajAlaIriva padhmarAgaI:

Oh Ranganatha Paaduka! The women-folk of the city fall in love with 
You. They now regard the red colour resulting rom the ruby gems, as 
the heaps of red hot charcoal left behind, from the Fire of Cupid.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S)

SlOkam 586

1)UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Swami Desikan describes another result 
from the worshipping of the PadhukAs. In the earlier verse, he 
mentioned that the sins of people are destroyed through the worship 
of the paadhukais adorned with rubies. Here, he states that the 
desire of the ladies of Srirnagam are enhanced many fold by Paadhuka 
worship. Swamy Desikan says: " Oh PaadhukE! The feet of of the Lord 
has become reddened through association with Your PadmarAga gems. 
When the ladies of Srirangam worship You, they consider You as the 
red ember of the fire of the God of love interested to kindle and 
enhance the love of the ladies of Srirangam for RanganAtha. You 
provide them the means for their enhanced desire for the 
companionship of Your Lord's lotus feet".    

2)SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh RangEswara PaadhukE! Those who
recite Swamy NammAzhwAr's paasurams develop extraordinary devotion to
Sri RanganAthan and intense desire to be near Him. 

3) The ladies of SrIrangam (pouranganA: ) see You united with the red 
rubies, which is tantamont to You being united with desire (ThvAm 
sparsitha raaga BhandhAm iva pasyanthi). They interpret You as being 
united with the red flames of ManmathA's fire ( ThvAm srungAra-yOnE: 
jwalanasya dheepthai: angAra jaalairiva pasyanthi)?(V.S).
