Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

696. mathvA maShIm parimithAm BhavathI thadhanyAm
vaIkuNTapAdharasikE maNipAdhukE! svAn
ankthE svayam kiraNalEpiBhirindhranIlAi:
AshAthatEShu laLithAnapadhAnavarNAn

Oh Twin-Paaduka, that zealously guard the Lord's Feet! You having 
ignored other colours as trifles, paint on all directions and 
available surfaces, the frame of the Lord's Feet, using the pigment 
of sapphire radiance. (The reference is to Azhwar's revelation of the 
great fame of the Lord, even going beyond the Vedas).

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 696

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh Gem-bedecked PaadhukE!
Oh Devi , who is forever attached to the Lord's feet with
affection ! With the blue rays of Your sapphire , You point 
out the story of Your Lord's glories everywhere. You seem to
think that other inks may not be upto the task of adequately
celebrating Your Lord's magnificent attributes. Swamy Desikan 
suggests that the VedAs could not adequately spread the fame of 
the Lord.Hence , Swamy NammAzhwAr and other other AzhwArs 
appeared to compensate for the deficiency of Vedams and 
used their celebrated works to extoll the glories in 
a resonant manner all over the world. PaadhukAs are none other 
than Swamy NammAzhwAr.

2)SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:Oh PaadhukE! Sapphires are 
enmeshed on You. Their lustre spreads in all directions.
When one experiences that unique hue , One is inclined
to think that those dark bluish rays write Your history 
in all directions to overcome the paucity of other kinds
of inks.

3) Oh Paadhukai who is affectionately attached to Your
Lord's sacred feet ( VaikunDa Padha rasikE ! maNi PaadhukE!)!
You consider that the inks other than those formed by Your 
saphire rays as inadequate ( BhavathI tadhanyAm masheem 
parimithAm mathvA ), You use the lustre of Your saphires
to serve as undrying source of ink to write about Your
delightful history (laLithAn svAn apadhAnavarNAn)
in all pages/directions(aasAtaDEshu) by Yourself(kiraNa 
lEpibhi: Indhraneelai: aasAtaDEshu laLithAn apadhAnavarNAn
svayam angkthE)...(V.S).
