Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

647. balivimaThanavElAvyApinasthasya viShNO:
padhasarasijamADhvI pAvanI dhEvi! nUnam
jananasamayalagnAm jAhnavI thAvakAnAm
vahathi charaNarakshE! vAsanAm moUkthikAnAm

Oh Paaduka Devi! When the Lord rose in size on that occasion of 
crushing King Bali, the honey that came as the river Ganga definitely 
has assimilated Your pearl's nature-whiteness, purity! This is true, 
I am certain.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 647

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhaavam: Swami Desikan suggests here that 
Ganga got her clarity and white hue from the pearls adorning 
the Lord's PaadhukAs. He says: " Oh Queen! Oh PaadhukE! When 
Your Lord subjugated Bali chakravarthy during His incarnation as
ThrivikramA , Ganga, the honey from His lotus feet was born. 
At that time of her birth, GangA came in to contact with
Your pearls and acquired through that association, her clarity 
and white color.

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! The waters
of GangA originating from the kamanDalu jalam of Brahma 
Devan acquired the white , clear hue by assoication with
Your pearls adorning the Paadhukais worn by Your Lord as 
He grew to measure the world during His ThrivikramAvathAram .
GangA river had only one occasion to be associated with 
Your Lord's Thiruvadi. Oh PaadhukA Devi ! You have however
the good fortune of being assoicated with Your Lord's 
Thiruvadi always.

3) Devi CharaNarakshE! Time was the occasion of destroying
the arrogance of Bali Chakravarti( Bali vimaTana vELA). 
You were growing gigantic as Thrivikraman (Thvam VyApina:).
It was also the time when Your son BrahmA washing Your
Thiruvadi with the waters from His KamaNDalu and thus arose 
the sacred GangA (Tasya VishNO: padha sarasija mAdhvI paavanI
JAhnavI janana samayam). At that time of her birth , GangA
got the association of the pearls of Paadhukais adorning 
the Lord's Thiruvadi and acquired the clear white hue
( Janana samayam lagnAm thAvakAnAm moukthikAnAm vaasanAm 
vahathi)...(V.S).
