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

kAdhambinIva paritha: sPhutavAribindhu:
Oh Paaduka! You and the rain-bearing dark clouds are similar. You
bear the Vishnu-pada (the Lord's Feet). The clouds move in Vishnupada
(the sky). Your blue gems with white pearls on the surrounding, give
the image of dark blue cloud with water drops. Winds (Marut) move the
clouds. You sit on the heads of the Devas (Maruts).
Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
SlOkam 562
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh gem-bedecked Paadhukais of the
Lord! You appear to me like a row of dark blue clouds of the rainy
season sprouting drops of clear rain water on all sides, when they
are driven by the winds. The sheen of Your dark blue sapphires
mingling with the white lustre of pearls remind me of the above
analogy. ( Pearls in the poet's imagination appear like the rain
drops from the dark blue clouds).
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam : The combination of the dark blue hue
of the sapphires mingling with the white hued pearls on You remind
one of the clouds of the rainy season showering rain. The inner
meaning is that Swamy NammAzhwAr is happy over the thought of the
auspicous attributes of the Lord and is sad that such a Lord is not
accessible to embrace with his hands and see with his eyes . That
makes him cry.
3) The Paadhukais are united with the Lord's Thiruvadi. On them are
enmeshed the darkish blue sapphires ( vyaktha IndhraneelA ruchi : )
and the radiant white hued pearls( ujjvala moukthika SrI : ) . This
union reminds Swamy Desikan of the dark rain clouds driven by winds
in the four directions showering rain drops (Thvam kaalEshu
