Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

608. prachuranigamaganDhA: pAdhukE! rangaBharthu:
padhakamalasamruDdhim prathyaham BhAvayantha:
dhaDhathi shakalayanthO gADamanthasthamisram
samuchithamaruNathvam thAvakA: padhmarAgA:

Oh Paaduka! Your Padmaraga gems simulate the sun in being red; in 
exuding Vedic fragrance; in unfolding and blossoming the lotus each 
morning, the sun is famous, whereas the Padmaraga gems can do the 
embellishment on the Lotuses of the Lord's Feet; But whereas the sun 
dispels the darkness of night- which is superficial, the Padmaraga 
lustre can remove the sin-heaps of the devotees accumulated over a 
long time. This is inner darkness.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan ( V.S)

1. UtthamUr Swamy' s anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! Your red rays have Vedic 
association . They enhance the beauty of Your Lord's lotus feet like 
the Sun that opens up the lotus flowers in the ponds. They remove the 
darkness of ignorance like the rising Sun (AruNa).Thus it has the 
many charactrestrics of the Sun. Swamy Desikan plays on the 
word "aruNathvam " in this verse, where he describes the property of 
the rubies. This word can mean the Sun at dawn or redness. He points 
out that the rubies are like the red Sun at dawn and carries out all 
the duties of the Sun. 

2. SrImath Andavan's anubhavam : The inner meaning is that AzhwAr's 
paasurams house inside them the essence of Vedic fragrances .These 
paasurams are very dear to the Lord. They fill the minds of the 
listeners with auspicious information about the svaroopam and 
SvabhAvam of the Lord and destroy ajn~Anam
thoroughly (V.S).

3. Oh PaadhukE ! Your rubies resemble the Baala Sooryan 
(ThAvakA: PadhmarAgA: aruNathvam dhadhathi) They contain inside the 
fragrance of the Veda manthrams ( nigama-gandhA: nivahathi). They are 
filled with the red hue of the inner soul of the Lord's feet ( 
Rangabharthu: padha kamala samruddhim bhAvayantha: ). They remove the 
deep darkness of nescience (ThavakA: padhmarAgA: ghADam tamisram 
sakalayantha: ).(V.S)
