Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

621. pariShkruthA moUkthikarashmijAlaI: padhasya gOpthrI BhavathI 
murArE:BhavathyanEkOrmisamAkulAnAm pumsAm thamassAgarapOthapAthrI 

(Oh Paaduka!) This ocean of wordly life rocks beings by its waves, 
which are hunger, thirst etc. tormenting the beings. You, being the 
guard for the Lord's Feet are safely fastened, by means of the cords 
of pearl-lustre-rays, to be fit enough to ferry through the ocean to 
Moksha destination. 

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S)

SlOkam 621 
 
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! Wooden boats are held 
together by strong ropes. The boats made secure in this manner hold 
goods safely and transport them across the sea without any danger to 
them. You act in a similar manner and help Your worshippers to cross 
the dark and stormy seas of samsAra safely. Your pearls serve as the 
ropes for the boat of the Lord's holy feet to cross the ocean of 
worldly existence known for its many dangers.

2. SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that people
after the avathAram of Swamy NammazhwAr become fortunate to 
know about the pearl like paasurams revealing the Tatthva thrayam
and attain auspiciousness. They attain mOksham ultimately. They 
attain SrI Vaikuntam with the recitation and comprehension of the 
divine anubhavam-laden paasurams of Swamy NammazhwAr.

3. PaadhukE! You become the boat for those janthus , who suffer from
the six worries of hunger, thirst , sorrow , ignorance , old age 
and death , which are like the unstopping waves of a stormy sea  
( anEkOrmi samAkulAnAm pumsAm tama: saagara pOthapAthri 
bhavathI). How do you do that ? Your rows of pearls serve as 
the ropes that bind the planks of the boat ( Moukthika rasmi jAlai:
parishkruthA ) bind it . You protect the Lord's sacred feet 
( MurArE: Padhasya gOpthrI ) ?(V.S).
