Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

562. viShNO: padhEna GhatithA maNipAdhukE! thvam

     kAlEShu dhIvyasi marudBhirudhIryamANA
     kAdhambinIva paritha: sPhutavAribindhu:

Oh Paaduka! You and the rain-bearing dark clouds are similar. You 
bear the Vishnu-pada (the Lord's Feet). The clouds move in Vishnupada 
(the sky). Your blue gems with white pearls on the surrounding, give 
the image of dark blue cloud with water drops. Winds (Marut) move the 
clouds. You sit on the heads of the Devas (Maruts).

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 562

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh gem-bedecked Paadhukais of the 
Lord! You appear to me like a row of dark blue clouds of the rainy 
season sprouting drops of clear rain water on all sides, when they 
are driven by the winds. The sheen of Your dark blue sapphires 
mingling with the white lustre of pearls remind me of the above 
analogy. ( Pearls in the poet's imagination appear like the rain 
drops from the dark blue clouds). 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam : The combination of the dark blue hue 
of the sapphires mingling with the white hued pearls on You remind 
one of the clouds of the rainy season showering rain. The inner 
meaning is that Swamy NammAzhwAr is happy over the thought of the 
auspicous attributes of the Lord and is sad that such a Lord is not 
accessible to embrace  with his hands and see with his eyes . That 
makes him cry. 

3) The Paadhukais are united with the Lord's Thiruvadi. On them are 
enmeshed the darkish blue sapphires ( vyaktha IndhraneelA ruchi : ) 
and the radiant white hued pearls( ujjvala moukthika SrI : ) . This  
union reminds Swamy Desikan  of the dark rain clouds driven by winds 
in the four directions  showering rain drops (Thvam kaalEshu 
udhIryamANA paritha: sphuDa vaari bhindhu: kaadhambinIva dheevyasi Â….
