Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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


897. AsannAnAm dhivasamapunarnakthamApAdhayanthI
     sPhIthAlOkA maNiBhiraBhitha: prANinAmasthadhOShA
     prahvaIrjuShtA vibhuGhanivahaI: pAdhukE! rangaBharthu:
     pAdhAmBhOjE dhishathi BhavathI pUrvasanDhyEva kAnthim

Oh Paaduka! You are like Dawn. You create the day for those who 
resort to You, sealing the night of samsara once for all. For the Day 
You have thus created there is no end, to lead to a night! The Devas 
worship You as Brahmanas worship the Dawn (by Sandhyopasana). As the 
dawn and sunrise blossom a lotus, You give a lustre of bloom to the 
Lord's Feet-Lotuses.

[The Sandhya here referred to is the unique dawn after Samsara. The 
Day is Moksha with unending bliss. We may place all sadhacharyas in a 
par with the Paaduka for bringing the 'dawn' to us].

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan ( V.S):
 
SlOkam 897
 
1) UtthamUr  Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! When dawn comes , the 
light of sun spreads. The defects associated with the darkness of the 
night disappear. Righteous people worship therefore the dawn as the 
harbinger of auspicious events. Dawn also opens up the lotus flowers 
and makes them shine . All of these features are incorporated 
in You . Hence , I consider You as the dawn (sandhyA ) that enhances 
the beauty of the Lord's lotus feet.
 
2. SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! You confer on those , 
who perform prapatthi to You for the sole purpose of mOksham the 
blessings of the day without the apperance of the dark night of 
samsAram. There are no more births and deaths , no more puNyams and 
Paapams no more sukham and dukkham for them. That is the  equivalent 
of the bright day without ensuing dark night. Your dayA eliminates 
links with bodily existence forever. Your bright rays from your gems  
are like a visEsha poorva sandhya ( Udhaya kaalam ) generating lustre 
all around and removing all dhOshams as well as granting prapannAs 
freedom from the cycles of births and deaths.  
 
3. The PaadhukAs cause the destruction of the night of nescience 
for those, who seek its refuge ( aasannAnAm prANinAm apunarnaktham
divasam aapAdhayanthee). The day filled with the lustre of true 
Jn~Anam (Jn~Ana PrakAsa divasam) is born. Oh PaadhukE! You are 
surrounded by the assembly of such blessed souls , who have acquired 
such a true Jn~Anam (prahvai: vibhudha: nivahai: jushtAm Bhavathee 
poorvasandhyEva vilasathi). That extraordinary poorva sandhyA 
associated with Your blemishless lustre enhances the sObhai of the 
lotus that is Lord RanganAthA's sacred feet..(V.S).
