Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

740. chithram sarOjanilayAsahithasya shOrE:
vAsOchithAni charaNAvani! samviDhithsO:
sadhyO vikAsamupayAnthi samADhiBhAjAm
chandhrAthapEna thava mAnasapankajAni

Oh Paaduka! In order that the hearts of yogis will be fit to receive 
the Lord and His consort and retain the Couple, You make the heart-
lotuses blossom, by the impact of Your moonshine, so to say, by the 
lustre of Your gold that is sunshine for the process. 

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 740

(1)UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! You desired 
to create many residences for the Lord with His consort 
MahA Lakshmi. So, You made the heart lotuses of many yOgis
bloom. The miracle of it all is that You used the cool rays
of the Moon to make those heart lotuses bloom. Normally , it 
is the Sun that makes this happen since Moon is not a friend
of the Lotuses.However in Your presence,the question of any
enimity does not exist". There is no inconsistency here, if
we have the meaning of ChandrA to be gold instead of the Moon .

Swamy Desikan states here that the Paadhukai (Swamy NammAzhwAr)
through His Tamil vedam (ThiruvAimozhi) opened up the heart
lotuses of Ygis like Naadha Muni to recieve the Lord and His
consort there. The cool lustre of ThiruvAimozhi made the heart
lotuses of the Yogis bloom.Normally , they bloom due to the warm
rays of the Four VedAs(Sun). Swamy NammazhwAr also established
that worship of the Lord without His consort is fruitless .
All of this was made possible by the compassionate SatAri/
PaadhukA (Swamy NammAzhwAr). 

(2)SrImath Andavan's anubhavaM:Here again , Swamy Desikan 
uses the double meaning of "Chandra" to mean the Moon and 
Gold. He suggests playfully that the Moon's rays made 
the lotuses bloom. Normally , the Moon's rays have the opposite
effect. Swamy Desikan says in this context: " Oh PaadhukE!
You desire to create many places of resdence for the dhivya 
dampathis. With Your golden rays, You make the heart lotuses 
of the Yogis bloom and get prepared to recieve the dhivya
dampathis on those lotuses. 

(3)Oh PaadhukE! You desire to create many appropriate places
for the residence of Your Lord with His consort ( hE CharaNAvani! 
SarOjanilayA Sahithasya SourE: VaasOchithAni samvidhathsE). 
You choose the heart lotuses of the Yogis ( SamAdhibhAjAm 
maanasapankajAni chinthayasi). With Your golden lustre,
immediately make the heart lotuses bloom ( Tava ChandrAtapEna
sadhya: vikAsam upayAnthi). This is a wonder (Chithram)..(V.S).
