Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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


852. mAnyA samasthajagathAm maNiBhanganIlA
pAdhE nisargaGhatithA maNipAdhukE! thvam
antha:purEShu laLithAni gathAgathAni 
ChAyEva ranganrupathEranuvarthasE thvam

Oh Manipaaduka! You are revered over all the worlds. Your sapphire 
gems render You deep black. Being inherently inseparable from the 
Lord's Feet, You follow Him in his strolls into the harem, partaking 
of His happiness through, as His inseparable shadow. You looking like 
a shadow, from Your colour. You thus become more than an outfit of 
the Feet; You are the Lord's totality in the form of a shadow.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 852

1) UtthamUr Swamy'a anubhavam: Swamy Desikan celebrates the blue
color of sapphire adorning the PaadhukAs here. He states that the 
PaadhukAs are like the shadow of RanganAtha. He also states that the 
PaadhukAs are not only the representative of the Lord's holy feet but 
also the representative of His whole body. He says: " Oh MaNi 
PaadhukE ! You are celebrated by the entire world for Your brilliant 
blue rays emanating from Your blue sapphires. You are united like a 
shadow at the feet of RanganAtha and follow Him through all His 
roamings in the inner chambers of His palace " .

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! You are always
with Your Lord as He pays visit to His inner chambers and returns 
from there. You accompany Him as His shadow even during such private
trips. Your dark bluish-black hue arising from Your sapphires 
confer on You the quality of His shadow (i-e)., You are below His 
feet always. 

3) Oh MaNI PaadhukE ! You are celebrated by the whole world
( Thvam Samastha JagathAm MaanyA ). Through the pieces of 
bluish-black sapphire , You resemble the hue of the Lord's Thiruvadi
and are seen there ( MaNi bhanga neelA Ranga-nrupathE: paadhE
nisarga: gaDithA ). You enjoy as a ever-present companion the comings
and goings of Your Lord inside His inner chambers and His delightful
visits there ( Thvam antha: purEshu Ranga-nrupathE: laLithAni 
gathAgathAni anuvarthasE )...(V.S).
