Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

577. kalayApi hAnirahithEShu sadhA thava moUkthikEShu paritha: 
praThathE uparajyamAnahariNAnkthulA haripAdhukE! harishilAmahasA

Oh Paaduka! The pearls in You shine like the moon, but without loss 
of digits with days in a fortnight. But now the blue gems give a halo 
that dims the pearl-surface, with the result that they have become 
the eclipsed moon.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 577:

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Lord's PaadhukE! During lunar 
eclipse, the full moon is covered by Raahu. This situation reminds me 
of the coexistence of dark rays of Your sapphires surrounding the 
white brilliance of Your pearls. You resemble the eclipsed moon. 
There is however a difference. Your dark blue rays cause 
auspiciousness to those, who worship them in contrast to Raahu , who 
is feared.

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! On You are enmeshed with
the sapphire and the pearls. All the time, the the blue lustre of the 
sapphire is falling on the pearls. That makes one think that the 
eclipse of the moon is present all the time. The pearl is the Moon 
and the dark blue Sapphire is the Raahu in this comparison.

3) Swamy Desikan describes the high quality pearls as totally 
blemishless ( kalayApi haani--rahithEshu Tava MoukthikEshu). On those 
shining pearls, the lustre of the sapphires is reflected ( HariseelA 
mahasaa praTathE). That scene is like the permanent eclipse of the 
Moon by Raahu surrounding the Moon all around (Tava MoukthikEshu 
HarisilA mahasA sadhaa paritha: uparajyamaana HariNAnga tulA 
praTathE )?(V.S).
