Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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


644. AshAsya nUnamanaGhAm maNipAdharakshE! 
chandhrasya vAriDhisuthAsahajasya vruDdhim
DhAthrIm mukundhapadhayOranapAyinAm thvAm
jyOthsnA samAshrayathi moUkthikapankthilakshyAth

Oh Manipaaduka! The row of pearls on You would appear to be the moon 
itself, I feel. Being the brother of Mahalakshmi, originating from 
the ocean, he presumably seeks digit-increase and resorts to You, who 
afford protection to the Lord's Feet and who could recommend his case 
to the Lord!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkma 644

1) UttaamUr Swamy's anubhavam : Oh MaNi PaadhukE! Your pearls 
are not just rows of decorations on Your body. They appear
to be the lustre of Moon, the brother-in-law of Your Lord,
who has approached You, who is protecting Your Lord's feet 
so that he ( the Moon ) will not exprience the waning between 
the bright(Sukla) and dark (KrishNa ) pakshams ( Halfs of 
the month). Swamy desikan hints here that the Moon has 
joined the PaadhukAs to be close to the Lord's feet to pray for 
the blessing of freedom from decay (Kshaya rOgam).

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: When we look at the pearls
on You , we are inclined to imagine that Chandran is near 
You making a prayer. He wants to join You to be free from 
decay (waning) during KrishNa paksham . The inner meaning is 
that respectful prayer to the BhaagavathAs, who are truly 
devoted to the Lord can result in the realization of all
desired fruits. Swamy NammAzhwAr has all the soubhAgyams of
Jn~Anam, DayA and Forbearance. Any one who comprehends 
the true meaning of His(AzhwAr's) paasurams will not 
experience any shrinking of their Jn~Anam (sankuchitham). 

3)The rays of the Moon , who is the brother of MahA Lakshmi
arose like Her from the Milky ocean ( JyOthsnA 
vaaridhisuthA sahajan ). He desires freedom from kshayam/
decay and wants to be blemishless ( VaaridhisuthA sahajasya 
anagAm vruddhim aasasya) .What does he do to achieve
that boon? He ( the Moon) approaches You, who bear the Lord
on Your back without let and mingles with the assembly of 
lustre of Your white "moon rays " of pearls ( AngaAm vrudhdim 
aasasya MukundhapadhayO: anapAyineem dhAthrIm ThvAm moukthika 
pankthi vyAjEna samAsrayathi)...(V.S).
