Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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


691. anvicChathAm kimapi thathvamananyadhrushyam
samyakprakAshajananI DhruthakruShNarUpA
pAdhavani! sPhurasi vAsavarathnaramyA
maDhyE samADhinayanasya kanInikEva

Oh Paaduka! You bear Krishna's form on You. You are also dark like 
him. Your colour comes from the sapphires. Yogis see the Supreme 
Principle-not visible to ordinary men-through Your help. Because, You 
serve as the pupil, so to say, of the yogic eye. Once You help the 
yogi in this manner, the Lord standing 
on You is envisionable.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 691

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhaavm: Swamy Desikan equates 
the dark sapphires of Paadhukais to the dark pupils of 
the eyes of the Yogis. He says: " Oh PaadhukE! You bear the Lord's
dark complexioned body always. Your sapphires have the same 
dark color . Through Your sapphires , You mkae it easy 
for the Yogis , who wish to see Your Lord and practise 
YogA. You do this by serving as the pupil of their yogic
eyes. With Your sapphires serving as the dark pupils of
their eys, they are able to see readily the dark complexioned
One standing on You ". 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam :Without the pupils of
the eyes , one can not see anything.You become the pupil
of the eye for the Yogis practising dhyAnam to see Your Lord.
The AchAryAs are like the helpful pupils to experience the Lord.
Without deep devotion to them , One can not know , see and attain
PerumAL. 

3)Here Swamy addresses the Indhra neela gems as 
"Vaasava rathnam". he describes them as delectable
to look at ( ramyA), as the generator of true
Jn~Anam(samyak prakAsa-jananeem) and having the dark
bluish hue ( dhrutha Krishna roopA). Oh the rays of 
the sapphires of the PaadhukE! You shine like the dark
pupil in the middle of the eye of dhyAnam ( samAdhi 
nayanasya madhyE kanInikEva Sphurasi)of the Yogis , who 
consider nothing but Your Lord as the object worthy of
Pursuit (ananya dhrusyam kimapi tatthvam anvicchathAm 
samAdhi madhyE kanIkinEva sphurasi)...(V.S)
