Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

819. pAdhAvani! prathipadham paramasya pumsa:
pAdharavindhapariBhOgavishEShayOgyA
svABhAvikAn suBhagaBhakthivishEShadhrushyAn
rEKhAthmakAn vahasi pathralathAvisheShAn

Oh Paaduka! You are prone to experience communion with the Lord 
frequently. Befitting this previlege, You bear on Yourself natural 
streaks, that clearly depict leaves and creepers as a sweetheart is 
wont to paint on her face and body before joining her lover. (It is 
obvious that Azhvars and Acharyas bear the true emblems of 
Paramabhakti on them, which qualifies them for merger with the Lord. 
Here, in this verse, 'subhaga Bhakti' may also mean pleasant 
devoton apart from well-demarcated).

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

slOkam 819

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! As the dear mistress of 
Your Lord, You carry the special decorative marks in the form of Your 
lines and patterns. They are similar to the patterns formed on 
women's bodies with vermillion by her lover. Those patterns of 
vermillion disappear with time. The lines and patterns formed as a 
result of love play between You and Your Lord however are permanently
seen on Your surface and attest to the everlasting love between both 
of You.

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Swamy Desikan refers to MakrikA 
pathrams (the drawings created on the cheeks and shoulders of a lady 
during bhOgam) here. The rEkhAs on the Paadhukais reminds Swamy 
Desikan of these makarikA pathrams associated with love play . The 
inner meaning is that the AzhwAr and AchAryAs have superior bhakthi 
for the Lord that He is delighted to enjoy.

3) Oh PaadhukA ! You have the fitness to be united with the sacred 
feet of PurushOtthaman, Your Lord often ( Thvam Prathipadham 
Paramasya Pumsa: pAdhAravaindha paribhOga visEsha yOgyA) . You adorn 
His lotus feet. You display naturally born rows and rows of 
delightful rEkhAs on Your surface born out of superior bhakthi to 
Your Lord , which remind us of the Makarapathrams drawn
by lovers ( Thvam svabhAvikAn subhaga bhakthi-visEsha dhrusyAn 
rEkhAthmakAn pathralathA-visEshAn vahasi)...(V.S).
