Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

627. rangE shayAnasya padhAvani! thvAm
lAvaNyasinDhO: saviDhE niShaNNAm
parisPhuranmoUkthikajAladhrushyAm
prasUthiBhinnAm prathiyanthi shukthim

Oh Paaduka! Near the Lord, who lies as a large ocean of charm, You 
shine as the oyster-shell opened up to emit out pearls. You are 
beside an ocean of lavanya (charm). Ordinary oyster-shells are found 
on the shores of the ocean of lavana (salt).

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 627

1) UtthamUr Sawmy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! You are seated 
right next to that ocean of beauty resting under the Ranga VimAnam . 
During that occasion , the pearls decorating the front portion of
Your body resemble the pearls near the salty ocean shore ,
which peek out of their mother shells that are half open.
We poets visualize Your pearls in this way .Swamy Desikan
uses the double meaning of the word "laavaNya sindhu" in 
this verse. This word can mean either the ocean of beauty 
(laavaNya) or the salty (lavaNa) ocean. He recognizes
the pearls on the PaadhukAs of the Lord as natural pearls
peeking out of their oyster shells.

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The time of birth of
the pearls from their oyster shells is referred to here.
The Lord of SrIrangam is like the ocean of Beauty.The Paadhukai
with its pearls on top is right next to that ocean of
Beauty, Lord RanganAthan.Their proximity reminds Swamy 
Desikan that the Lord is like the beautiful oyster shell
and the beautiful pearls are like those born out of
that ocean of beauty.The Paasurams of Swamy NammAzhwAr are
compared to illustrious pearls with deep devotion to the Lord.

3)The Paadhukais are right next to the ocean of beauty
lying down under the shade of Ranga VimAnam (( RangE sayanasya 
PadhAvani! (tasya ) lAvaNya sindhO: savidhE nishaNNAm ThvAm).
There You are seen with your beautiful pearls ,which seem 
to have just burst open from their oyster shells ( Moukthika-
jaala dhrusyAm ThvAm , prasUthi-bhinnAm sukthim 
prathiyanthi)..(V.S)
