SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

652. prakatithayashasAm thE pAdhukE! rangaBharthu:
     dhviguNithanaKhachandhrajyOthiShAm moUkthikAnAm
     karaNavilayavElAkAtharasyAsya janthO:
     shamayathi parithApam shAshvathI chandhrikEyam

Oh Paaduka! These pearls have, indeed, the capacity to double the 
brilliance of the Lord's foot-nails, thereby proclaiming the pre-
eminence of yourself. The perennial effulgence of a moonlight affords 
solace to one like me, standing in perpetual fear about the last 
moment when the body falls.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan


Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S)

SlOkam 652

1) UtthamUr  Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! The cool Moon rays 
emanating from Your pearls have lustre , which is twice as much as 
that of the lustre of Your Lord's toe nails . They are advertising 
the glories of Your Lord's fame. The permanent lustre of Your 
pearls remove the pitiable afflictions of creatures at the time of
their death , when their limbs are weak and are unable to function. 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:The toe nails of the Lord , which are 
already effulgent get many fold brightness from the reflections
from the pearls adorning the Paadhukais. The radiance of
the pearls is like the undecaying moon light. Oh PaadhukE! 
during my last moments , I will be incoherent. At that time ,
You should arrive with your radiant pearls and with the Lord 
on Your back to remove all my sorrows and fears .

3) The radiance of the pearls are described here as 
undecaying chandra jyOthi ( thE moukthikAnAm iyam chandrikA
sAsvathI). Their radiance is celebrated and they double
the kAnthi of the Lord's toe nails ( prakaDitha yasasAm 
dhviguNitha nakha chandra jyOthishAm thE moukthikAnAm
sAsvathi iyam chandrikA). That extraordinary radiance 
of Your pearls should come to my side at the time of 
my departure from this earth and banish my sufferings
( KaraNavilaya vELA kAtarasya asya janthO: parithApam
samayathu )...(V.S)
