Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

864. rangEshvarasya purathO maNipAdhukE! thvam
rathnAmshuBhirvikirasi sPhutaBhakthibhanDhA
pAdhoU vihArayithumadhBhuthasoUkumAryoU
prAya: sarOjakumudhOthpalapathrapankthim

Oh Manipaaduka! The Lord's Feet are tender. To suit them, You make 
earnest care in great love. You enable the Lord to proceed on His 
tours, on Your well built gem-set surface. You also cause to spread a 
layer of lotus, white lily and blue water-lily flowers on the Lord's 
path, by scattering rays of light from Your gems, a red-carpet 
treatment being thus given.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

Slokam 864

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Mani PaadhukE! Wishing to make the 
most tender feet of Your Lord travel in comfort, You affectionately 
spread the tender petals of lotus, white and blue lillies in His path 
through Your multicolored rays and announce His arrival with 
delightful sound of Your jingling gems.

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE! When Lord RanganAtha 
travels on the streets of His RaajadhAni, You want to protect His 
soft feet from the ill effects of any rough patch over which You have 
to transport Him. Therefore, You use the spreading rays from Your 
colorful gems and line the path with rows and rows of petals from red 
and blue lotus as well as the white lillies.

3) Oh MaNi PaadhukE ! You have firm and durable Bhakthi for Your Lord
(Thvam sphuDa bhakthi bhandhA). You wish to transport the uniquely 
mysterious and flower-petal soft feet of the Lord with out any harm 
to them ( RangEswarasya adhbhutha soukumAryou paadhou viharayithum
icchasi). What initiative do you take to overcome any shocks or jolts 
to those soft feet of Your Lord , which are Your charge ? Your 
initative is to spread ahead the petals of red (SarOja) and blue 
(Uthpala) lotuses and white lillies ( Kumudha) in the guise of Your 
multicolored rays from the gems ( Puratha: rathnAmsubhi: SarOja 
Kumudha Uthpala pathra pankthim praaya: vikirasi)...(V.S) .
