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

655. prApthA shoUrEscharaNakamalam pAdhukE! BhakthiBhAjAm
     prathyAdhEShtum kimapi vrujinam prApithA moULiBhAgam
     dhEvEna thvam dashashathadhrushA dhanthirAjasya DhathsE
     mUrDhni nyasthA muKhapataruchim moUkthikAnAm praBhaBhi:

Oh Paaduka! You cling to the Lord's Feet. You will be transported to 
the head of any one, whose sin-some rare sin, not expelled by other 
means-is sought to be driven away in this manner. Your splendour then 
would be that of a Mukta (a pearl) placed on the head of Indra's 
elephant, which would cast a spell of dalliance to serve as a face-
veil, in the ornamental way, to the elephant.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S)

SlOkam 655

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE of Krishna removing
the sins of His devotees through Your contact ! You are placed by the
thousand-eyed Indra on the head of his white elephant and You become 
the pearl-embedded decorative piece of head cloth there. Your pearls
enhance the beauty of the face of Indra's elephant. 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE! You are adorning
Your Lord's Thiruvadi. The bhakthAs of Your Lord adorn You
on their heads to destroy their sins. Indhran places You
on the head of his elephant , IrAvadham and travels .The white
jyOthi emanating from Your pearl assembly serves as 
a Mutthangi for the elephant and illumines both Indhran 
and his elephant.

3)Oh PaadhukE! You are associated with the lotus feet 
of Your Lord ( Thvam SourE: charaNa kamalam prApthA).
BhakthAs have requested You to be placed on their heads 
to remove even the worst of  sins ( Kimapi vrujinam 
prathyAdhEshtum bhakthi bhAjAm mouLi bhAgam prApithA).
You are placed by Indran on the head of his royal
elephant ( Thvam dasa-satha-dhrusA dEvEna danthirAjasya 
moordhni nyasthA). There , the radiance from Your pearls
takes the form of the radiant mutthangi for the head 
portion of the elephant , IrAvadham ( Thvam moukthikAnAm 
prabhAbhi: danthirAjasya mukhapaDa ruchim dathsE)...(V.S)
