Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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


651. BhuvanamidhamashESham biBhrathO rangaBharthu:
     padhakamalamidham thE pAdhukE! DhArayanthyA:
     chiraviharaNaKhEdhAth samBhruthAnAm Bhajanthi
     shramajalakaNikAnAm sampadham moUkthikAni

Oh Paaduka! The sweat drops formed on You by reason of wearing and 
walking with the Lotus Feet of the one Lord-Rangabharta-the Bearer, 
the great-who bears the burden of all three worlds, perhaps acquire 
the great charm of pearls, I wonder!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 651

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! You have carried 
Your Lord for a long time on Your back. The tiredness from that 
marathon effort seems to show up as Your sweat drops (pearls). 
It is no surprise that Your effort in carrying the holy feet of 
the Supreme Lord , who bears all the universes produces some
fatigue that leads to the formation of those beautiful 
pearls (sweat drops) on Your person. 

2)Swamy  Desikan points out first that the Lord is carrying
all the universe on Him ( Idham buvanam asesham Bhibratha:).
The Paadhukai bears on its back the lotus feet of that Lord 
(tasya Padha Kamalam dhaarayanthyA: thE). Oh PaadhukE! You
have travelled quite some distance carrying your Lord 
and are fatigued and generate the sweat drops that are
in the form of pearls on You( thE moukthikAni chira viharaNa 
khEdAth sambruthAnAm srama jala kaNikAnAm sampadham bhajanthi). 
Sramajalam (sweat drops) are like clusters of pearls. Those
pearls arise from the effort of carrying the mighty , weighty 
Lord by the Paadhukais ....(V.S)
