Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

693. klrupthAvakuNTanaviDhirmaNipAdharakshE!
nIlAamshukaIrvalaBhidhashmasamudBhavaIsthE
sangacChathE munijanasya mathi: samADhoU
rAthroU samasthajagathAm ramaNEna lakshmyA:

Oh Manipaaduka! It is the night for all worlds. (That is, all are 
inert in regard to Bhagavad-dhyana). The damsel, the embodiment of 
yogis' intellect, covers herself with a blue garment-that is the 
product from the radiance of the sapphires on You-and goes 
clandestinely to join with the consort of Lakshmi, You, Your 
sapphires provide the backdrop for yogis' samadhi attainment. 
(Abhisarika-a woman going secretively to her lover)

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 693

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anibhavam: Oh MaNi PaadhukE!
The minds of Yogis taking the form ofm ladies travel
at night , when the world is asleep to have union with
Your Lord. During those travels , they cover themselves with 
the dark blue rays of Your sapphires and use them as 
their cloaks to hide themselves so that they are not seen by 
the others , when they unite with the husband of Lakshmi.

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! On You are
enmeshed with Indhraneela gems. When one assesses their lustre , 
it reminds one of a shiny black saaree.The minds of Yogis 
meditate on Your Lord at night time and their minds cover
themselves with the lustre of Your sapphires as though
drawing over their heads the black saaree to have a tryst 
with Your Lord wihtout being detected by anyone .The Yogis
use the dark bluish rays of Your sapphires to succeed
in mingling with the object of their meditation ,
Your dark-hued Lord. 

3) The time for the dhyAnam of the minds of the Yogis
is the night for all janthus( Muni janasya mathi: 
samastha jagathAm raathri:). mathi means both mind
and a vyapachAri lady , whose afection wanders .
During the dhyAna kAlam of dark night , You serve
them as the dark cloth for covering one's body to
escape detection through Your dark and steely
lustre ( thE valabhidasama-samudhbhavai: neelAmsubhi: 
avakuNDana vidhi:).Where are the minds of these
Yogis heading at night covering themselves with
dark saree to escape detection? Their minds are
rushing for union with the husband of MahA Lakshmi
(LakshmyA: ramaNEna sangacchathi)..(V.S).
