Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

710. namathAm nijEndhranIlapraBhavEna mukundhapAdhukE! BhavathI
thamasA nirasyathi thama: kaNtakamIva kantakEnEva

Oh Mukunda-paaduka! As the adage goes, a thorn can be removed in 
one's body only by the application of a thorn. So also the internal 
darkness of we people has to be relieved only by a similar darkness 
emitted by Your blue gems. 

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 710

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Mukundha PaadhukE! With 
the dark lustre emanting from Your sapphires , You remove 
the dark attributes (TamO guNam) of the people , who prostrate 
before You.In this regard , You act like a thorn that is used 
to remove another thorn stuck in the flesh . 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:One can ask as to how one dark 
object can remove/banish another dark object: the dark-hued
sapphire banishing the dark ajn~Anam . Swamy Desikan uses
the analogy of a thorn that is used to extract another thorn 
that is embedded in the sole of the feet . 

3) Oh Moksha Daayaka Mukundha PaadhukE! You chase away
the dark ajn~Anam of those who prostrate before You
( Bhavathee namathAm tama: nirasyathi). You perform
this wonderous act with the bluish-black rays arising
from Your IndhraneelA gems ( Bhavathee Tama: Indhraneela-
prabhavEna nirasyathi). That act is like one thorn
that is helpful to extract another thorn that is stuck 
in the flesh( kaNDakEnEva KaNDakamiva nirasyathi)..(V.S).
