Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

561 udhgIrNagADathamasO harinIlaBhangA:
    thArAvishESharuchirANi cha moukthikAni
    thvathsangamAth sarasijEkshaNapAdharakshE!
    samyOjayanthi nishayA BhavamoULichandhram

(When the Paaduka is placed on Siva's head) Oh Paaduka! The blue 
sapphires on You create a vision of darkness, in which the white 
pearls shine like stars. When You rest for a moment on Siva's head, 
You create-when in broad daylight-a spectre of night for the moon in 
Siva's locks (which it gets only now)!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam  561

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : Oh Paadhukais of the lotus-eyed Lord!
When the dark bluish radiations from  Your sapphire mingles with the 
white radiations from Your pearls , You seem to unite the crescent 
Moon on Rudra's head with the dark night. (Rudran wears the 
Paadhukais on His matted locks and the crescent Moon there gets 
united with the dark blue lustre from the sapphires enmeshed in the 
paadhukais and thus resembles the dark slivers of night. Normally , 
the crescent moon on Rudra's head does not have the companionship
of the night ).  

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:There are the dark blue sapphires and 
white pearls on the Paadhukais. The dark blue hue of sapphire is like 
the darkness that is not banished by the sun's light. The pearls look 
like the clear Moon light. Rudran wears the Paadhukais on His head. 
The lustre of the crescent moon on Rudran's  head gets united with 
the lustes of  sapphires and the pearls. That looks like the  
crescent Moon having the companionship of the night. 

3) Oh the Paadhukais of the Lord resembling that of the beautiful and 
soft lotus petal  (SarasijEkshaNE) ! Your sapphires are like the 
darkness spewed out (udhgIrNa gADa tamasa HarineelA : ) . Your pearls 
are like the most enjoyable bright white stars on the dark night ( 
tArAvisesha ruchirANi moukthikAni). When both are united with You , 
it appears like the crescent moon on the locks of Rudran being united 
with the dark night ( Thvath sangamAth Bhava mouLi Chandram nisayA 
samyOjayanthi)…(V.S)
