Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

633. vaikuNTapAdhanaKhavAsanayEva nithyam
pAdhAvani! prasuvathE thava moUkthikAni
acChinnathApashamanAya samAshrithAnAm
AlOkamaNdalamiShAdhamruthapravAhAm

Oh Paaduka! Your pearls wipe out the triple-torture (tapatrayam) of 
those who have surrendered unto You. Evidently You have gained this 
potency from close contact of the nails of the Lord's Feet [from 
which (nails) nectar flows according to the vedas). It is an 
understatement to say that the pearls have lustre-circumference. 
Actually You secrete nectar-torrent on us!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

slOkam 633

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! Your pearls 
through their assoication with Your Lord's toe nails have been
immersed in the flood of nectar originating from them. 
Your Lord creates this flood of nectar from His radiantly white 
toe nails and removes the afflictions of those who suffer from 
samsaric ills. Your pearls have acquired the quality of the nectar 
from the Lord's toe nails and participate in the act of destroying
the sufferings of the afflicted. Swamy Desikan points out that 
the pearls may look like a circle of white rays , but in actualiity 
they form the flood of nectar , which provides salvation. The pearls 
have derived this power from the toe nails of the Lord through 
intimate association with them.

2)SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is: AzhwArs
and AchAryAs have blessed us with SrI Sookthis like ThiruvAimozhi
et al , which are the distillation of their sublime anubhavams 
about the enjoyment of the Lord and His anantha kalyANa guNams. 
Each word of those SrI Sookthis on reflection have the power
to remove our limitless samsAric sorrows. Our Lord and His
AzhwArs through their nectar like upadesams protect us from
the horrors of samsAram.AzhwAr paasuram's meanings are like
nectar. The paasurams are equated here to the individual pearls.

3) Oh SrIrangEsa PaadhAvani! Your pearls have the intimate
association with Your Lord's toe nails always and as a result 
produce the flood of nectar ( Tava MoukthikAni VaikuNDa paadha 
nakha vaasanayA nithyam amrutha pravAham prasoovathE). That
association-derived power blesses those , who seek Your refuge
and removes the samsAric afflictions that can not be easily banished
( SamAsrithAnAm acchinna taapa samanam prasoovathE). How do 
these assembly of pearls with their intimate assoication with
the Lord's toe nails perform this miracle ? They execute 
this miracle of the flow of amrutha pravAham through their 
radiance arising from the assembly of rays emanting from 
the pearls( aalOka maNDalamishAth nithyam amrutha pravAham 
prasoothE)..(V.S)
