Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

589. nisargasiDdham maNipAdharakshE!
dhEvasya rangavasaThapriyasya
bAlArkavarNA: padhapadhmarAgam
thvathpadhmarAgA: punarukthayanthi

Oh Manipaaduka! A discerning relisher of Sriranga kshetra, Lord 
Ranganatha, has His Feet naturally lotus-like with that colour, which 
Your Padmaraga gems, resembling the early morning sun, only 
accentuate.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S)

SlOkam 589

1)UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! The young sun of the 
morning quickens the blossoming of the lotuses and enhances their 
beauty. Similarly, the PadhmarAga gems serve as the young sun that 
doubles the beauty of the Lord's red lotus feet. 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that the people 
have already great desire for the Lord. That desire is enhanced 
multifold after hearing the paasurams of Swamy NammAzhwAr. 

3) Swamy Desikan is referring to the doubling /enhancement of the 
natural red hue of Lord RanganAthA's sacred feet (nisargasiddham 
Devasya Padha Padhma raagam) due to the admixture of the red radiance 
from the PadhmarAga gems on the Padhukai, which have the hue of 
rising Sun ( Thvath BaalArka varNA: raagam Thvath PadmaarAgA: ). 
Those PadhmarAga stones double the red hue of the Lord's holy feet ( 
Thvath PadhmarAgA: punarukthayanthi)?.(V.S).
