Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

866. paryApthamoUkthikanaKhA sPhutapadhmarAgA
rEKhAvishESharuchirA laLithaprachArA
rangaDhirAjapadhayOrmaNipAdhukE! thvam
sAyujyamAshrithavathIva samasthavandhyA

Oh Manipaaduka! Your pearls simulate the nails of the Feet. The red 
gems on You give an impression of red lotus and are reminiscent of 
the Lord's Lotus Feet. There are the streaks on You. The gait is 
exactly the same as that of the Lord's. Thus, the complete identity 
between You and the Feet are secured. This is Sayujya.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkma 866

1) UttamUr Swamy's anubhavam: In the 854th verse , Swamy Desikan 
compared the PaadhukAs to the feet of the Lord. Here, he takes this 
comparison one step further. He says: "Oh Mani PaadhukE! RanganAthA's 
feet have pearly white toe nails ; they are red like Your rubies ; 
they contain lines and patterns similar to those seen on You.
Therefore, You become equal to the Lord's feet in status because of 
above similarities and are worshipped by every one .They celebrate 
Your lovely steps and gait and recognize their equality with Your 
Lord's feet". 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! There is close 
similiarity between You and Your Lord's sacred feet. Both of You are 
eminently worshippable. The pearls on You resemble the Lord's 
lustrous white nails in Kaanthi. The soft red lotus like feet
of Your Lord matches the red hue of Your rubies. Both of You have 
rekhAs and have beautiful gaits. 

3) Oh PaadhukE ! You have attained closeness to Your Lord's sacred 
feet (MaNi PaadhukE ! Thvam RangAdhirAja padhayO: Saayujyam 
aasrithavathee ). Where are the points of comparison ? The white 
pearls resemble in hue the shining nails of the Lord's toes ( 
ParyAptha Moukthika NakhA ). The red rubies resemble the lotus 
feet ( SphuDa PadhmarAga ). Matching beauty in lines (rEkhAs ) on 
both of You like Dhvajam , Vajram et al ( rEkhA visEsha ruchirA ) are 
seen. Close symmetry in gaits(laLitha PracharA ). Both are worshipped 
by all ( Samastha VandhyA ).
