Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

622. rangEshapAdhaprathipannaBhOgAm
rathnAnuviDdhaIrmahithAm shirOBhi:
mukthAvadhAthAm maNipAdhukE! thvAm
mUrthim BhujangADhipathE: prathIma:

Oh Manipaaduka! I dare say You are an incarnation of Adisesha! 
Whereas You have the previlege of enjoying his Feet, Adisesha in 
snake-body enjoys the revered Rangesa, Sri Rangesapada! Both get 
respectability from the gems on top. If You get a white lustrous 
surface by virtue of the pearls, Adisesha is pearl-white!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 622

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! We recognize You as 
AdhisEshA , the Lord's close companion. We wonder whether 
AdhisEshA himself has taken Your form to protect the Lord's 
feet, when He travels. There are so many similarities between You 
and AdhisEshA, which makes us think this way. Both of You serve
the Lord and derive great pleasure through that service. Both of You 
have gems adorning Your head portions. AdisEshA has a white color 
like Your pearls. The word " BhOga" used by Swamy Desikan 
in this verse can mean either a serpent (AdhisEshA ) or enjoyment.

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! You are enmeshed with 
priceless pearls. You display a radiant white hue. PerumAL is
placing His Thiruvadi on You. The heads of BrahmA and others rest
on Your surface. In this state, You remind adiyEn of AdhisEsahn ,
who is white in hue and the Lord is resting on him. Like You, 
AdhisEshan has countless jewels on His hoods. 

3) Oh PaadhukE! We think of You as having the resemblence to 
PerumAL's bed , AdhisEshan ( ThvAm BhujangAdhipathE: mUrthim 
pratheema ). Why ? Both of You have the sukham arising from union 
with Lord's Thiruvadi ( SrirangEsa padha prathipanna bhOgAm ). Both 
of You are celebrated for the head adorned with many gems ( rathna 
anuviddhai: sirObhi: mahithAm ) . Both of You are radiantly white in 
hue ( mukthA avadhAtAm )...(V.S)
