Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

706. yA thE bAhyAngaNamaBhiyatha: pAdhukE! rangaBharthu:
     sanchArEShu sPhurathi vithathi: shakranIlapraBhAyA:
     vishvaksEnapraBhruthiBhirasoU gruhyathE vaIthrahasthaI:
     BhrUvikshEpasthava dhiviShadhAm nUnamAhvAnahEthu:

Oh Paaduka! When the Lord is leaving the couch to come to the 
verandah, a blue light fills the place, coming from Your sapphires. 
But it looks to me as though it was a mere brow-movement on Your part 
to instruct Vishwaksena (with his ruling wand) and others that they 
issue summons to the Devas to assemble!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 706

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! When Lord RanganAtha 
steps out on You for His sanchArams , VishvaksEnA with his cane 
in hand recognizes the spreading blue rays of Your sapphires 
as the signal from You. He and others recognize the spreading lustre 
of blue rays as the crinkling of Your eye brows to authorize 
the entry of DevAs to offer their worships to Your lord. 
VishvaksEnA with his cane gets ready to control the throng of
DevAs to visit the Lord in an orderly way.

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that 
all auspicousness lands on one , who has the complete
anugraham of his/her AchAryan.For them , even Nithyasooris 
wait on him/her with folded hands.

3)PaadhukA's sending of the signal through the movement
of its brows ( BhrU vikshEpam) is referred to here. Such
a BhrU VikshEpam is linked to the spreading of the blue
rays ( sakraneelA prabhAyA: yaa vithathi sphurathi) from
the sapphires of the Paadhukais. Lord RanganAthA has not yet
stepped out of the ranga VimAnam but has taken a couple of 
steps in the context of His journey outside(BhAhyAnganam 
abhiyatha: Rangabharthu: ). At the entrance is Lord 
VishvaksEnar with a cane in his hand ( vEthrahasthai: 
VishvaksEnaprabhruthibhi:). The rays of sapphire
spread out now from the top of the sapphires .
Lord VishvaksEnar igets now the  signal from the Paadhukai 
so that He can invite the dEvathais inside the Ranga VimAnam 
for offering their worships ( dhvishadhAm aahvAna hEthu: 
Tava bhrUvikshEpa: gruhyathE)...(V.S).
