Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

594. dhEvasya rangarasikasya vihArahEthO:
AthmAnamanGhrikamalE vinivEdhya pUrvam
prAyO nivEdhayasi shONamaNiprakAshaI:
prathyUShapadhmakalikAm padharakshiNi! thvam

Oh Paaduka! As one would receive with honours an important actor as 
he visits the theatre, You provide after first delivering yourself 
unto the Lord a bouquet of lotus buds-yet to blossom, in the morning-
in the form of the lustre of the Padmaraga gems. It looks so!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 594:

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Swamy Desikan describes the rubies on 
the PaadhukAs as the lotus buds offered to the Lord's feet during 
worship. He says: "Oh PaadhukE! You offer the lotus buds of Your 
rubies to the Lord's feet, which are going to engage in a novel 
dance on the stage of Srirangam . You take refuge in the Lord's feet 
first and then offer Your rubies to serve as lotus buds as a mark of 
Your reverence for those feet that are about to move on the stage of 
Srirangam. 

2) SrImath Andavn's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that SadAchAryAs 
place the aathmAs at the sacred feet of the Lord and during the rest 
of their life time on earth engage in kaimkaryams like adorning the 
Lord with fragrant flowers. 

3) For the enjoyement of the Lord of Sriramgam during his dance on
the stage of Rangam ( Rangarasikasya dEvasya vihAra-hEthO: ) , You
( Paadhukai) offer yourself first at the lotus feet of the Lord ( 
poorvam aathmAnam angri-kamalE vinivEdhya ). After that , You shower 
through Your rubies the red lotus bud like offerings ( sONA-maNi 
prakAsai: prathyUsha padhmakalikAm prAya: nivEdhayasi )..(V.S).
