Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

618. chandhrachUdamakutEna lALithA
chArumoUkthikamayUKhapANdarA
ranganAThapadhapadhmasanginI
lakshyasE suraDhunIva pAdhukE

Oh Paaduka! You become like the river Ganga, by virtue of the white 
stream of the rays of the pearls, by contact with Siva's crown when 
he bows his head in obeisance and by the perennial contact You have 
with the lotus feet of the Lord.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S)

SlOkam 618:

1)UthtamUr Sawmy's anubhavam: Swamy Desikan states here that the 
river Ganga on Rudra's head is one and the same as the Vishnu 
PaadhukAs for the following reasons: (a) both Ganga and the  
PaadhukAs are carried by Lord SivA on His head (b) both have 
connection to the lord's feet (c) perals on PaadhukAs in their 
whiteness resemble the waters of Ganga . Swamy Desikan says: " Oh 
PaadhukE! You resemble Ganga flowing from the head of Lord SivA 
decorated with the white crescent moon . The whiteness of Your pearls 
and Your association with the Lord's holy feet and Your residence  
on Lord SivA's head indicate that You have all the attributes of 
Ganga river". 

2)SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that the sacred 
thoughts housed in Swamy NammAzhwAr's paasurams bless the people of  
the world with auspicousness just as river GangA blesses people , who 
take a dip in it.

3) PaadhukE! You in Your whiteness arising from Your rows of pearl 
are united with the lotus feet of Lord RanganAtha ( Paadhuke ! 
PaaNDrA Thvam RanganAtha padha padhma sanginee) take on the 
appearance of the river GangA (Sura nadheeva lakshyasE ). The 
beautiful white rays of Your rows of pearls fall on the river GangA 
adorning the siras of Lord Sivan and make you look like the Lord's 
feet united with the river GangA (Chandrachooda MakuDEna laaLithA 
chAru mouktika mayUka Suranadheeva lakshyasE)? (V.S).
