Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

657. kapardhE kasyApi kshithiDharapadhathrAyiNi! thaThA
muhurgangamanyAm ksharathi thava mukthAmaNimaha:
muDhAramBha: kumBhasThalamanukalam sinchathi yaThA
nirAlambO lambhOdharakaLaBhashuNdAlachuLaka:

Oh Paaduka of the Lord! When You were placed on Siva's head, the 
brilliance of pearls created a phantom of a second Ganga stream-which 
the elephant-faced Ganesa tried to pick up with his small trunk-cup 
to pour on head as bath-all in vain! There is no water; it is a 
mirage!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan


Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S)

SlOkam 657 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukAs of the Lord , who carries
the earth! When Parama Sivan bows before Your Lord to recieve You
on His head , He keeps GangA in one corner of His head so that 
the waters of GangA do not spill on Your Lord's limbs. At that time,
the white lustre of Your pearls spreads all over His matted locks and
creates an apperance of another flood of GangA everywhere on His head.
His son GanEsA , who stands nearby attempts to reach out to these
bounteous floods on His father's head with His trunk and finds
that He can not get hold of any real water to drink. He finds 
however that his lips are also filled with that strange "water" of 
the second GangA. GaNEsa gets mystified and tries again to consume
the "water " arising out of Your pearls.

2) Oh Paadhukais of the Lord bearing BhUmi Devi ( Kshithidhara 
PadhathrAyiNi)! On the matted locks of Lord SivA fall often 
the radiant rays of Your pearls fall( kasyApi KapardhE: Tava 
mukthAmaNi maha: muhu: sinjathi). That makes it appear as though
there is yet another GangA with white floods on Lord SivA's
matted locks ( MukthAmaNi maha:anyAm GangAN TaTA ksahrathi).
Near by is the observant son of Lord SivA , VinAyakA . He is
intrigued by the radiant waters of the new GangA on His father's
head and wants to fetch a mouthful of water from this new Ganga
with His trunk and does not succeed( LambhOdar KaLabha suNDAla 
chuLaka: nirAlambha:)...(V.S).
