Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

613. sharaNAgathasasyamAlinIyam thava mukthamaNirashminirJharoUGhaI:
nanu rangaDhurINapAdharakshE! jagathI nithyamadhaIvamAthrukABhUth

Oh Paaduka! The arrays of pearls on You emit radiations that look 
like cascades in a water-fall of river. The green fields of prapannas 
secure this, without having to look for rains (which imply the shower 
of God's grace).

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 613:

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : Swamy Desikan indicates here that  
those, who worship the paadhukais adorned with the pearls 
will attain satthva guNA and will become SaraNAgathAs and stay
close to the paadhukais. He hints that mOksham is possible only 
through bhakthi yOgam or SaraNAgathy (the act of total self-
surrender). In this context, Swamy also alludes to the two kinds of 
crops on this earth. One is nourished by the flowing waters of the 
river and streams .The other is nourished by rain waters. The first 
is recognized as "nadhi mAthrukai " and the second is known as 
"dEva mAthrukai ". Swamy Desikan says here: " Oh RanganAtha
paadhukE! This earth is nourished by the waterfall of Your rays 
originating from your pearls and always makes the crops of 
SaraNAgathAs "adhaiva mAthrukAs" or those , who are not dependent on 
rain from the skies. They are nourished as in the case of "nadhi 
mathrukAs" through your waterfall like flow originating from your 
pearls.

2) SrImad Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! the lustre of the pearls 
on you never diminishes. It is like the huge flood waters that
do not diminish even in the height of hot summer. Those flood waters 
nourish the crop of saraNAgathAs in all the worlds. The inner 
meaning is that from the time of Swamy NammAzhwAr's avathAram , all 
categories of people continue to seek the Lord as their protection 
and gain mOksham as a result of the upadEsams housed in the paasurams 
of SaThakOpan.

3) The crop of SaraNAgathAs (SaraNAgatha sasya mAlini) become
independent of the waters from the skies (adhaiva-mAthrukA abhUth). 
How did that happen ? It is your rows of radiant pearls 
flowing like perrenial mountain sterams that causes it and sustains 
this crop of prapannAs always ( Tava mukthAmaNi raSmi nirjjara Ogai: 
nithyam adhaivamAthrukA abhUth)?.(V.S).
