Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

Oh Paaduka! Diamonds, pearls, and corals on You, bring to one's mind 
the fact of the Lord with You having remained very long in the heart 
of the yogis wherein You have dwelt in surya, chanra-and agni-mandala 
respectively, to carry forward the resulting colours to this day!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 550:

1) UtthamUr Sawmy's anubhavam: Oh RanganAtha PaadhukE! The combined 
lustre from Your diamonds , pearls and corals live long in the minds 
of Yogis. The presence of that lustre appears like the coexistence of 
Soorya, Moon and Fire orbits (mandalams) residing there.  According 
to Yoga SaasthrAs , Yogi's Minds house the Lord at the epicenter of 
concentric circles of the orbits of Sun, Moon and Fire. Swamy Desikan 
suggests that Yogis meditate on the combined lustre of diamonds, 
pearls and corals and gain the blessings of darsanam of the Lord 
effortlessly through such DhyAnams. They do not therefore need to
resort to harsh Yogic practices  to gain the same result.

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that AzhwAr's
Paasurams  house in them the three moods : (1) The thApam from 
separation from the Lord /vislEsham (2) the appearance of the Lord to 
please the AzhwAr /samslEsham and (3) the joy arising from the 
enjoyment of the Lord /BhOgam. They are like the phenemenon of the co-
existence of the Sun, the Moon and Fire in the mind of a Yogi 
meditating on the Lord. 

3) There is an amalgamated effulgence of Diamonds , Pearls and Corals 
enmeshed on the surface of Paadhukais ( tE vajra upasangaDitha 
Moukthika vidhruma SrI: ). That integrated radiance is like the 
presence of Sooryan, Moon and Agni in the heart lotuses of Yogis  
engaged in deep dhyAnam of the Lord ( SamyaminAm manasi saktha 
sUryEndhu-vahnimaya maNDala vaasanEva raajathE )Â…(V.S).
