Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

888. pariNathaguNajAlA pankthiBhirmoUkthikAnAm
     bahuviDhamaNirashmigranThibanDhABhirAmA
     raGhupathipadharakshE! rAjavAhyasya kumBhE
     kalitharuchiraBhUsthvam kApi nakshathramAlA

Oh Paaduka! You are seated on the head of the Royal Elephant; the 
rows of pearls on You are cross linked by the various rays from the 
gems so that the whole looks like the so-called 'Nakshatra-mala', a 
decorative network of cross links hung on the face of the elephant. 

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopn (V.S):
 
SlOkam 888
 
1) UtthamUr  Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Raghupathi PaadhukE ! You have 
become the matchless garland of stars seen on the forehead of the 
royal elephant Satrunjaya through Your rows of pearls tightly woven 
together wih many rays emanating from Your gems. BharathA placed You 
on the back of the royal elephant to bring You back to rule the 
kingdom.(here, Swamy Desikan suggests that the PadhukAs are like the 
decorative jewelery covering the broad forehead of the royal elephant,
which was seen by one and all  during the ocasion of the procession 
before coronation ).  
 
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: When Bharathan arranged a procession 
on the back of the royal elephant prior to your ascent to the 
simhAsanam of the Raghu vamsam, You resembled a garland of stars on 
the forehead of the elephant. How so? The pearls on You separated by 
the many gems in between resembled a nakshathra Maala, where the 
pearls are the stars and the colored knots in between to make the 
necklace are the different gems.
 
3) Oh Raghupathi PadharakshE ! You look like a beautiful necklace 
consisting of twenty seven stars (Thvam Kaapi abhirAmA nakshathra 
mAlA abhU: ). You are beautiful with the colored knots ( colored  
gems) that tie together the  pearls (Thvam PariNatha guNajAlA 
bahuvidha maNi rasmi granthibandha abhirAmA) that gives the 
appearance of a necklace of stars shining on the forehead of
the royal elephant ( Raajavaahyasya kumbhE kalitharuchi: kaapi 
Nakshathra maalA abhU: )...(V.S).
