Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

695. prathyEmi ranganrupathErmaNipAdhukE! thvAm
kruShNAm thadhangaruchiBhirharinIlarathnaI: 
vishvAparADhasahanAya padham thadhIyam 
vishvamBharAm BhagavathIm samayE BhajanthIm

Oh Manipaaduka! The sapphires confer a dark complexion on You. I 
would now take You for Bhoomi Devi, who would, at the time of 
punishment due to be meted out to a creature, which seeks some way of 
respite, resort to the Lord's Feet to secure forgiveness, by virtue 
of Her innate character of 'world bearing'. (The Vedas declare that 
Bhoomi Devi is dark)

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S)

SlOkam 695

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavaam: Oh RangarAja PadhukE! 
Your rays of sapphire are dark in color like the complexion
of Your Lord . When Your devotees surrender unto You ,
Your sapphires like BhUmi Devi , who bears with their offenses and
protects them. ( BhUmi Devi also ahs a bluish-black complexion
like the sapphires. Hence , Swamy Desikan equates the grace of
sapphires to that of BhUmi Devi , who is known as "Sarvam SahA" 
and protects the jeevans out of Her infinite compassion ).

2). SrImath Andavan's anubhaavam: Oh PaadhukE! Sapphires are
emeshed on You. That makes You look dark . You remind us of 
BhUmi Devi, who intercedes with the Lord to forgive Her 
children's transgressions. 

3)Oh RanganAthan's maNi PaahdukE! You have a hue that is
dear to the Lord (viz) harineelam( KrishNa antharanga Ruchibhi:
Harineela rathnai: sahithA). When One reflects on Your hue,
One is reminded of BhUmi Devi ( VisvammbharAm) , who is
blemishless and has all auspicious attributes (Bhagavatheem)
and who stays at her Lord's feet (tadhIyam Padham bhajantheem)
to plead for Her Lord's mercy against the limitless transgressions
of the people of the world ( ThvAm visvAparAdhasahanAya 
samayE tadhIyam padham bhajanthIm Bhagavatheem VisvambharAm
prathyEmi)...(V.S).
