Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

835. manjusvanAm maNimayUKhakalApinIm thvAm
dhruShtvA kapardhasaviDhE vinivEshyamAnAm
gUDIBhavanthi garudaDhwajapAdharakshE!
PhUthkAravanthi puravaIriviBhUShaNAni

Oh Paaduka of the Lord! Siva, the foe to Tripura, comes and bows low. 
You sit on his head with a good note, the light of different colours 
radiated by the variety of gems on You presents a panorama of a 
feather-spread of a peacock. The snakes on Siva, which are his 
ornaments, get scared, heave a sigh, and attempt to conceal 
themselves in fear of the peacock vision. 

(Azhvar's Thiruvaimozhi with its manifold meaning and a vast spread 
of imaginative picturesque beauty is sure to ward off all snake-like 
temptations 
of samsara).

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : Oh PaadhukE of the Lord with Garuda
in His flag ! You have the sweet sound of the peacocks and display 
an assembly of colorful jewels similar to the peacocks' feathers in 
their tail. When Rudran comes near You to offer His salutations, the 
serpents, which are the favorite food of the peacocks, escape from 
His arms and neck and hide in His matted locks out of fear and heave
big sighs (perumUcchu) out of fear .

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that all the 
sins run away from those, who have a clear comprehension of the 
meanings of the Paasurams of the Prabhandhams of Swamy NammAzhwAr.

3) Oh Garuda-dhvaja PadharakshE! The snakes on the arms and the neck 
of ThripurasamhAri, Lord Sivan are His alankAra vasthus (Pura-Vairi 
bhUshaNAni). Lord Sivan adorns You ( the Paadhukais) on His head as 
SirObhUshaNam. When the Snakes see the brilliant light from Your gems 
resembling the beautiful colors of peacock feathers and hear your 
pleasant naadham reminding them of the dhvani of Peacocks, they fear 
for their lives and rush in to the matted locks of their Lord ( MaNi 
mayUkha kalApineem, ManjusvanAm ThvAm dhrushtvA ). They heave heavy 
sighs (poothkAravanthee) and rush to hide inside the mighty
matted locks of their Lord ( Kapardha sameepE gUDee bhavanthi)...(V.S
