Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

853. rangADhirAjapadhapankajamAshrayanthI 
haImI svayam parigathA harinIlarathnaI:
samBhAvyasE sukruthiBhirmaNipAdhukE! thvam
sAmAnyamUrthiriva sinDhusuthADharaNyO:

Oh Manipaaduka! You are in a state of closely caressing the Lord's 
Feet. You are Yourself gold and You have sapphires on You. The two 
suggest the colour of Lakshmi and Bhoomi Devi. Rightly do previleged 
persons-persons who produce holy works-consider You as an embodiment 
of Mahalakshmi and Bhoomi Devi, as Two-in-one!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 853

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: SrI Devi is of golden hue; BhU Devi has
the bluish-black color of the sapphire. When Swamy Desikan reflects 
on these two colors found together in the PaadhukAs, He is reminded of
the PaadhukAs as the joint representation of both SrI and BhU Devis.
He observes: " Oh PaadhukE ! You have taken residence at the lotus 
feet of Lord RanganAtha and shine with both a golden and bluish 
lustre through Your gold and sapphires adorning You. Surrounded by 
Your blue lustre,Your golden body is celebrated by great poets as the 
combined form of both SrI Devi and BhU Devi". 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE! You are full of gold. 
On Your gold base, deep blue Sapphires are enmeshed. The mixture of 
colors make a reddish and bluish-black at the same time. As a result, 
You have taken the combined appearnace of SrI DEvi (DayA Roopi )and 
BhU Devi( Saantha /KshamA Roopi ). 

3) Oh MaNi PadhukE ! The fortunate ones think of You ( Thvam 
Sukruthibhi: sambhAvyasE ) as the combined form of SrI Devi and BhU 
Devi (Thvam Sindhu suthA DharaNyO: SaamAnya Moorthiriva sambhAvyasE). 
Why do these PuNyasaalis think this way of You, who is assoicated 
with the Lord's lotus-soft Thiruvadi ( RangAdhirAja padha pankaja 
aasrayantheem ThvAm )? It is because of Your golden surface ( 
reminding of MahA Lakshmi ) is enmeshed with bluish-black sapphires, 
the color of BhU Devi(Svayam Thvam Haimee Harineela rathnai: 
parigathA )...(V.S).
