Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

560. mukthEndhranIlamaNiBhirvihithE BhavathyA:
     pankthI dhruDE paramapUruShapAdharakshE!
     manyE samAshrithajanasya thavAnuBhAvA-
     dhunmOchithE sukruthadhuShkruthashrungalE dhvE

Oh Paaduka of the Lord! The regular arrays of pearls and sapphires 
found on You are, to my imagination the two fetters-of punya and papa 
respectively that you had removed from those surrendered to you, 
keeping them on You!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 560:

1) UtthamUr Swamy's  anubhavam: Oh PaadhukAs of the Supreme Lord ! 
With Your radiant white pearls and dark bluish sapphires, You appear 
like the twin chains of sins and righteousness that have slipped from 
the feet of the jeevan as a result of  Your prowess. Here, Swamy 
Desikan thinks about the jeevan ascending the supreme  abode  of the 
Lord with the help of the Paadhukais. He points out that
the chains of sin (dark hued emerald) and righteousness ( white 
colored pearls) have slipped from the feet of the jeevan to liberate 
him to pursue his onward journey without any hindrances. 

2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: When a jeevan places his protection 
at the feet of the Lord through a sadAchAryan, then both the paapam 
and the puNyam of that jeevan are removed and the jeevan starts the 
journey to the Lord's supreme abode without being held down by the 
chains of the sins and puNyams. Sins are typically described as dark 
and the puNyams as white. AzhwAr enjoys the union with the Lord and 
that is due to his sukrutham (equivalent to the white pearls) ;
when AzhwAr is seaprated from the Lord , he is sorrowful over his 
dushkruthams that interfere with the union ( equivalent to the bluish 
sapphire). 

3) Swamy Desikan addresses the Lord's Paadhukais as " Parama Purusha 
PaadharakshE " in the context of the Lord being Mukundhan, the Moksha 
dAyakan . Swamy Desikan enjoys the sight of two tightly knit rows of 
sapphires and white pearls( MukthA  Indhraneela maNibhi: vihithE 
BhavathyA: dhruDE pankthi). Swamy Desikan states that the Vaibhavam 
of the Paadhukai blesses the jeevan that sought refuge and releases 
the two kinds of leg chains of sukrutham and dhushkrutham ( PuNyam 
and Paapam ) and enables the jeevan to ascend effortlessly to the 
Supreme abode of the Lord , Sri Vaikuntam …(V.S).
