Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

703. sadBhirjuShtA samudhithaviDhurjaIthrayAthrAvinOdhE
ShvAthanvAnA rajanimanaGhAmindhranIlAmshujAlAi:
chithram KhyAthA kumudhavanatha: pAdhukE! puShyasi thvam
vyAkOchathvam vibhuDhavanithAvakthrapankEruhANAm

Oh Paaduka! In Your free walk, that proves a victory-march, the moon-
shine, the presence of stars, the darkness generated by the sapphires-
all are conducive to the blossoming of an array of the blue-lilies. 
But then, You make the lotuses too to blossom even in this night-the 
lotuses (faces) of the celestial damsels. How is that! Veritably the 
Lord is a moon, surrounded by stars. And when the Lord appears the 
world is delighted!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 703

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Here Swamy Desikan wonders about 
the extraordinary powers of PaadukAs that create the night and at 
the same time makes the lotus blososm . He says: " Oh PaadhukE!
You are joined by the righteous , who take the form of stars
when You unite with Your Lord appearing as the Moon to the stars
(people with good deeds).When Your Lord in the form of the Moon
travels with His devotees (Stars) , You spread the darkness of
night through the dark blue rays of Your sapphires. The lotus-
like faces of the wives of the DevAs watching this dark 
night with the divine Moon and the accomanying stars blossom
at that time .One witnesses then the rare sight of lotuses 
blossoming in that Moon-lit , starry night .

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:The Lord travels adorning 
You with the enmeshed dark-hued sapphires to destroy 
the asurAs. Your dark lustre creates the semblece of
night , whose darkness could not be dispelled even by
the Sun.That dark lustre of Your sapphires brightens
the faces of the joyous wives of dEvAs since their
husband's enemies are destroyed by Your Lord.Due to
the avthAram of Swamy NammazhwAr , the auspicious
guNAs/flowers like Saanthi/peace, Bhakthi/devotion to the Lord , 
virakthi/dispassion , DayA/compassion ,forbearance 
and sadhbuddhi blossom in this world and spread their 
fragrance far and wide. It is like lotus blossoms
in the depth of the dark night as a result of the union
of the Lord with You enmeshed with sapphires. 

3) Oh PaadhukE! You are worshipped by the revered ones
( PaadhukE! Thvam sadhbhi: jushtA). You are associated
with the bright Moon of RanganAthA (samudhitha vidhu:) ,
who is engaged in travel to destroy the asurAs ( jaithra
yAthrA vinOdha RanganATan).At that time , the dark bluish-black 
rays originating from the sapphires on You create a perfect
dark night ( indhraneela amsu jaalai: anagAm rajaneem 
aathanvAnA), which is like a forest of blue lillies
(aathanvAnA kumudha vanatha:).The Lord's act of
destruction of the asurAs to protect the dEvAs 
result at this time in the blossoming of the lotus-like
faces of dEva sthrees ( viBhudha vanithA vakthra 
pankEruhANAm vyAkOchathvam pushyasi).This wonderous
act of lotus blooming in the dark of the night 
seems to be achieved by You in a mysterious manner
( Thvam vakthra pankEruhANAm vyAkOchathvam pushyasi.
Chithrm idham )...(V.S)
