Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

672. haricharaNasarOjanyAsayOgyam BhavathyAa:
praguNaBhilaShanthyO varNalABham thuLasya:
prathidhinamupahAraI: pAdhukE! ThAvakAnAm
marakathashakalAnAmAshrayanthE mayUKhAn

Oh Paaduka! The Tulasi leaves cast on the Lord's Feet earn the green 
radiance of the emeralds, nevertheless, what they yearn for is the 
kind of perfection in colour and right choice of caste-denomination, 
so that they can also deserve the Lord's Feet inserted in them (as 
in Paaduka).

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

SlOkam 672

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! TuLasi plants
desirous of getting the blessings of having Lord's holy feet
on them like You , obtain the green color of Your emeralds .

Swamy Desikan states that the TuLasi plants are anxious to get
the dark green color for their leaves so that they can match 
those of the emeralds on Lord's PaadhukAs in the hope that 
it would help to qualify them for closer association with 
Lord RanganAthan , just like the emeralds on the Paadhukais.

2)Tulasi looks at the emerald gems and their green hue
which have the fitness to be associated with the Lord's
lotus soft Thiruvadi (Hari charaNa sarOja nyAsa yOgyam 
pragunam).Tulasi also wants to have that bhAgyam of 
nyAsa yOgyam. Every day , the TuLasi desires to attain 
the same hue as the emrald gems and places on Lord's Thiruvadi 
its own leaves ( BhavanthyA: varNa lAbham abilashanthya: 
prathidinam upaharai: aasrayanthE). Oh PaadhukE! The Tulasi 
leaves thus take refuge in the pieces of emelralds adorning 
You to fulfil their desire ( TaavakAnAm marataka mayUkhAn 
aasrayanthE)...(V.S)
