Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

707. akshNOranjanakalpanA yavanikA lAsyaprasUthErgathE-
     schidhgangAyamunA mukundhajalaDhErvElAthamAlAtavI
     kAnthAkunthaLasanthathi: shruthivaDhUkamthUrikAlamkriyA
     nithyam rathnapadhAvani! sPhurathi thE nIlA maNishrENikA

Oh Manipaaduka! One is stunned, unable to describe the blue gems! 
>From the effulgence emitted, it looks like the collyrium for the 
devotees eyes or the curtain drawn for the 'dance-show'-the show of 
the Lord's walking gait; or the Yamuna river coming to join the Ganga 
of devotees' intellect! or the greenish forest of herbs grown on the 
riverside and seashore! or perhaps the locks of hair falling in the 
forehead of the consorts; or the musk mark on the Veda-maids?

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan


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

SlOkam 707

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Gem-bedecked PaadhukE!
The blue rays from Your dark-hued sapphires appear like
many auspicious objects known for their bluish-black 
colors. The closely knit rays emanating from Your sapphires 
remind one of (1)black unguent applied to the devotees'eyebrows
(2) a curtain standing near the Lord moving with His charming
gait (3)The Yamuna river joining as Ganga representing 
Jn~Anam (4)dark forest with green trees growing at 
the sea shore of Your Lord's soundharyam and 
(5)the kasthUri dots on the foreheads of ladies , 
who are the VedAs themselves.

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that 
the true comprehension of the meanings of the AzhwAr's 
Paasurams are like having the benefits of cooleryium /anjanam
that reveals hidden objects ; it ( the spreading of the blue
rays of sphere/comprehension of the true meanings of
the Paasurams of AzhwArs) )is associated with the direct 
appearance of the Lord;it is the cause for the growth of 
true Jn~anam; it is the object of celebration by MahA
Lakshmi and serves as the aabharaNam for the Siras 
of the vedAs. 

3)Oh gem-decked PaadhukE ( rathna padhAvani)! 
The tight rows of Your blue sapphires are 
like colleryium for the eyes ( tE neelA maNi 
srENikA akshNo: anjana-kalpanA ).Those rows of 
sapphires are like the curtain in preparation 
for the Lord's sanchAram ( tE laasya prasoothE: 
gathE: yavanikA ). It is like the Jn~Anam
granting Ganga pravAham YamunA floods. It is like 
the green TamAla tree on the banks of the ocean of 
the Lord ( Mukundha JaladhE: vElA tamaalADavi). 
It is like the dark forelocks of MahA Lakshmi 
( KaanthA kuntaLa santhathi:). it is like the eternal
smearing of the kasthUri paste on the Veda sthrees 
( Sruthi vadhU kasthUrikAlankriyA ithi nithyam 
sphurathi)..(V.S).
