Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

614. aDhiviShNupadham parisPhuranthI
navamukthAmaNinirmalaprakAshA
paripuShyasi mangaLAni pumsAm
prathipacchandhrakalEva pAdhukE! thvam

Oh Paaduka! You reside at the Lord's Feet. Adorned with the pure 
spotless pearls, all new. You shine spotless white. The moon in the 
sky too shines so spotless and coveted, like a new pearl, on the 
prathama (after the New Moon). That single digit is believed to be 
auspices-conferring. Indeed You too are similarly auspices-
conferrring. In fact You can be described as the First Digit of the 
Moon!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 614

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Swamy Desikan compares the white 
radiance of the pearls on the PaadhukAs to the auspicious first day 
of Moon in the growing phase (Sukla paksham). The name for this 
crescent Moon is " Pratipath chandra kalA ". People look at it to 
gain auspiciousness. Swamy says: " Oh PaadhukE ! You stay at the holy 
feet of your Lord and carry the white lustre of Your blemishless 
pearls . During this time , You appear like the pratipath chnadra 
kalA , which confers auspiciousness on all those, who see it. That 
Chandra kalA also looks like a new pearl on You ". 

2) The inner meaning is that Swamy NammAzhwAr incarnated in
This world and blessed us with (blemishless) pearl-like paasurams.
As a result , kshEmam for the whole world results even today just like
viewing the first phase of the Moon during sukla paksham.  

3) Oh PaadhukE! You confer all auspiciousness on people of the world 
similar to the first crescent of the growing Moon ( Thvam Prathipath 
chandra kalA iva pumsAm mangaLAni paripushyasi). That auspiciousness 
arises from Your new and radiant row of pearls that stay close to the 
Lord's Thiruvadi ( Thvam adhivishNupadham parisphuranthi nava 
mukthAmaNi nirmala prakAsA paripushyasi)?(V.S).
