Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

638. shyAmA thanurBhagavatha: prathipannathArA
thvam chandhrikA vimalamoUkthikadharshanIyA
sThAnE thadhEthadhuBhayam maNipAdharakshE!
bODham kshaNAnnayathi buDdhikumudhvathIm na:

Oh Manipaaduka! Once the form of the Lord is settled in my heart, my 
vision and my intellect become blossomed, even as a host of water-
lilies of a pond is, by night and by the moon. Here the darkness of 
the Lord simulates the night and Your pearl-splendour, the moonlight. 
The Lord's form is capable of transporting the devotees across the 
ocean of grief.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

slOkam 638

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Gem-bedecked PaadhukE! 
Your Lord's (VaasudEvA's) body is of darkish hue and has
for decoration the three letters of PraNavam recognized as
SankarshaNa , Prahdyumna and Aniruddha murthis. You are like 
defectless Moon and its lustre. Lord's body with above attributes 
is like the night. Yourself together with Your Lord makes me
think of a pond , where lilly buds blossom during the night of 
full Moon. Swamy Desikan equates the dark colored Lord to 
the bluish black night ; He compares His own mind to a pond full of
water Lillies , which blossom at night. Hence , He points out that 
His mind blossoms , when it sees the Lord and PaadhukAs 
together. 

2). SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that
AchAryAL's with PerumAL confer saddh Buddhi (nalla aRivu)
to the Jeevans.

3)Your Lord's body is dark in hue; it has the Paadhukais
with its blemishless pearls , which are like the rays of the Moon
( Prathipanna TaarA Bhagavatha: tanu syAmA ; Vimala moukthika 
darsaneeyA Thvam ChandrikA)). The union of both ( PerumAL and 
His SaThAri) makes the Lilly pond of our Buddhi blossom 
instantaneously ( Tadh YEthatat ubhayam na: Buddhi 
KumadhadhvathIm KashaNAth bhOdham nayathi)..V.S
