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

Oh Paaduka! The tender sprouts-the fingers of the Lord's Feet gave 
rise to the buds we call pearls. The pearls are, according to You 
produced from the Panchjanya conch, (Sankha), their position 
elucidating to us their origin. 

Note: See the note under verse 635.

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

SlOkam 646

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Here , Swami Desikan refers to 
the generally held belief that the pearls are born out of 
conches. The origin of the pearls on Lord's PaadhukAs in this 
context is connected to the line (rEkA) symbolizing conch on
His holy feet. Swami Desikan says : " Oh PaadhukE! You seem
to be demonstrating that Your pearls appearing like flower buds 
on the tendril like toes of Your Lord are originating from 
the insignia  of conch found on the palm of His feet".

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is: The pearl
like pAsurams of AzhwAr appear like ornaments on the tender 
creeper like Thiruvadi of PerummAL. These paasurams are 
the fittest ones to adorn the Lord's sacred feet. These 
paasurams arose because of the reflections by SaThAri Soori 
on those Thiruvadis.If one reflects on those Thiruvadis 
as BhOgya Vasthu , then similar paasurams will arise from 
that fortunate being .

3)DEvi PaadhukE! You are proclaiming this (Thvam idham 
prakaDayasi). You announce to the people that the pearls on 
You are like the buds blossoming from the conch shaped
lines (rEkhAs) found on the soul of the Lord's feet
( Rangabharthu: padha sarasija rEkhA-paanchajanya 
prasUthim prajAnAm prakaDayasi).Swamy  Desikan describes 
the beauty of the pearls on the Paadhukais as being 
equal to the beautiful white buds found at the end of
the delightful , never-fading , tender creeper like 
toes of the Lord ( anudhinam laLithAnAm anguli pallavAnAm 
janitha makuLa sObhai: mukthAphalai:)...(V.S)
