Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

681. hariNA harinIlaIscha prathiyathnavathIm sadhA
ayathnalaBhyanirvANAmAshrayE maNipAdhukAm

The Paaduka obtains ornamentation from the Lord and from the sapphire 
gems. This is a permanent feature, as also its effective effortful 
life. Ironically, it will secure fruits without effort. It guides us 
also in effortless securing Moksha. I surrender to that Paaduka!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

Swamy Desikan Composed thirty verses in praise of
the Sapphires ( Indhra Neela gems ) that adorn Lord
RanganAthA's Paadhukais. With this Twentieth 
chapter , Swamy Desikan concludes his celebration
of the individual gems that adorn the Paadhukais 
of SrI RanganAthan.

SlOkam 681

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: " I surrender unto the Paadhukais
of the Lord , who confers the boon of Moksham without any previous
effort on my part. I surrender to those Paadhukais , which have
as decoration , its Lord and the blue sapphire gems and confers
many blessings on those , who approach them". Swamy Desikan 
equates the Padhukais to the status of AchAryAs , who intervene
with the Lord to gain the MokshAnugraham for their disciples.
Hence , the disciple does not need to do anything extra.
If on the other hand , RanganAthA is approached directly ,
one has to take the ardous route of Bhakthi or the easier route 
of Prapatthi. Surrendering to the PaadhukAs obviates the need for
any special efforts on the part of its devotees.

2) SrImath Andavn's anubhavam: The Lord of SrIrangam has
the bluish hue like the sapphires. He is always associated
with the Paadhukais with their Indhra Neela gems. The Lord
and the sapphire gems are like decorations for the Paadhukais.
Those who surrender to the Paadhukais will gain Moksham
effortlessly. Swamy Desikan states that he salutes 
the Paadhukais of such prabhAvam.

3)Swamy declares here that he seeks the protection 
of the gem-studded Paadhukais of the Lord ( MaNi PaadhukAm
AasrayE). Swamy qualifies the Paadhukais as having always
the alankAram of both the Lord and the Indhra neelaa 
gems( HariNA harineelaisccha sadhA prathiyathnavathIm 
MaNi PaadhukAm aasrayE). He qualifies the Paadhukais 
further with the salutation that they grant mOksham
effortlessly for those , who seek their protection.
(ayathna-labhya nirvANam maNi PaadhukAm aasrayE)..(V.S)
