Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

701. thvayi vinihithamEthath kEpi pashyanthi mandhA:
shathamaKhamaNijAlam shArngiNa pAdharakshE!
vayamidhamiha vidhma: prANinAm BhAvukAnAm
hrudhayagruhaguhABhya: pIthamanDham thamisram

Oh Paaduka! Certain observers, of dull thinking, regard the blue 
lustre on You due to the blue gems inlaid on You. We however, 
confidently declare that the blueness arises from the inner darkness 
that You had swallowed while being in the cave of the Heart-Home of 
people. 

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 701

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukAs of SaaraNgapANi! 
Some dim-witted people see Your sapphires as the cluster of 
blue rays of a precious gem. We consider them as the destroyer
of the darkness in the caves of hearts of those , who meditate
on Your Lord. The blue rays of Your sapphire banish the darkness 
in the heart caves and reveal the location of Your Lord residing
there. 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! The superficial obsevers
think that the dark object on You are a cluster of sapphire stones.
They do not recognize that it is the ajn~Anam consuned by You
from the minds of those , who meditate on You. The inner meaning 
is that the minds of those blessed by AchAryAs through upadEsam
and anugrahm will not have even a trace of Ajn~Anam. They will
comprehend clearly the five topics through such AchArya anugraham:

(a)clear Knowledge about the Svaroopam of the Jeevan ( aNuthvam ,
Jn~Anathvam ,Aanandathvam and amalathvam) and its total dependency 
on the Lord ( Karthruthvam, BhOkthruthvam as IsvarAdhInam ) 

(b)Clear comprehension of the Isvara Tatthvam( The undrstanding of
His LakshaNams as AnanyAdhInathvam , NirupAdhika sEshithvam and
nirupAdhika Niyanthruthvam). 

(c) Awareness of Our sins through trespasseses of His Saasthrams

(d) The need for sincere supplication to the Lord to protect 
us through the act of SaraNAgathy

(e)Engagement in duties that please the Lord .

Through a clear understanding of these five sangathis ,
AchAryAs make the Lord pliable to them and kindle 
the Jn~Anam of their sishyAs and protect them from
ignorance and misunderstandings to propel them towards
Moksha Maargam.

3)Oh SaarangarAjA's PaadhukE! ( SaarngiNa: PaadharakshE!)
There are some dullards( kEapi mandhA:). They see the dark
stones on You as sapphire gems ( Thvayi vinihitham yEtath
sathamakhamaNi jaalam pasyanthi). We with the benefit of
AchArya anugraham see some thing else in those dark-hued
sapphires( vayam idham itharam yEva vidhma:).We recognize
those dark stones as the confusing dark ajn~Anam hiding
in the heart caves of the janthus , who meditate on You
( vayam idham bhAvukAnAm prANinAm hrudhaya gruha guhAbhya:
peetham andham tamisram vidhma:)...(V.S)
