Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

631. padhArpaNEna BhavathIm prathipadhyamAnE
shrIrangachandhramasi samBhruthamoUkthikashrI:
angIkarOShi charaNAvani! kAnthimagrayAm
udhBhidhyamAnakumudhEva kumudhvathI thvam

Oh Paaduka! Srirangachandra relishes insertion of His feet into You. 
The rays of the moon, that He is, pervade in plenty. When this 
happens, the water-lilies all blossomed by the moon's appearance in 
You create an imagery of Your being a water-lily pond.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S)

SlOkam 631

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! Your beauty is 
enhanced by Your pearls . When Your Lord RanganthA unites
His feet with You as an expression of His great love for You , 
He makes You resemble a bright pond of white lillies , where
the lillys are Your radiant pearls. Here Swamy Desikan uses 
the double meaning for the word "paadha " . This word can
mean either foot or a ray. In the case of lillies , 
the rays of the Moon make them blossom . Lord RanganAthan
is that divine Moon.

2) The inner meaning is: When Swamy NammazhwAr sings about
the Lord , He (PerumAL) becomes joyous and presents Himself
before His dear bhakthan. That appearance of the Lord
makes Swamy NammAzhwAr blossom forth like a lilly at
the sight of the rising Moon. The lillies (Kumudha pushpam)
close their petals , when there is no Moon.When the Lord ,
who is the Moon is not there, the Lillies do not bloom.
The pearls , which are like the forest of Kumudha pushpams
in a pond blossom at the sight of the Lord (Moon), 
when the Lord unites His Thiruvadi with the Paadhukais.

3) The beauty of the Paadhukai adorned with pearls
is saluted by Swamy Dsikan as : Sambrutha Moukthika SrI:".
The Lord is equated to the Moon ( Rangachandramasi).
His Paadha arpanam results in the blossoming
of the lilly-like pearls at the sight of the Moon 
that is the Lord ( Thvam Rangachandramasi paadha
arpaNEna bhavathIm prathipadhyamAnE udhbhidhyamAna
kumudA). The assembly of pearls look together like 
a forest of of fully blossomed Lillies in a Lilly pond , 
as the Moon rises( Thvam udhbhidhyamAna kumudhA kumudhvathi 
agryAm kaanthim angIkarOshi)...(V.S)
