Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

846. mukthAmshukEsaravathI sThiravajradhamShtrA
prahlAdhasampadhanurUpahiraNyaBhEdhA
mUrthi: shriyO Bhavasi mADhavapAdharakshE!
nAThasya nUnamuchithA narasimhamUrthE:

Oh Paaduka! When the Lord took the Nrisimha avatara, You took a very 
appropriate incarnation as His consort. Your pearl-given white 
radiation constitutes the mane of the Lion. Your diamonds serve as 
the hard teeth. The avatara was pleasing to devotees. (It enhanced 
the affluence of Prahlada, the great Bhakta). You have a gold 
composition, He cleaved Hiranya. To Him, as His consort, you are 
nearly his feminine replica, very much alike.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 846

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: When Swamy Desikan thinks about 
the pearls and gold associated with the PaadhukAs , He is reminded of 
the Lord's incarnation as NarasimhA .He considers the Paadhukais
as MahA Lakshmi , who appears with Her Lord in every one of His
incarnations .Here , Swamy considers the PaadhukAs as the Devi of 
Lord Narasimhan .He says: "Maadhava PadhukE! Your rows of pearls 
look like the mane of NarasimhA . Your adamantine (vajrA ) stones
resemble His hard teeth. Your gold looks like the form cleaved by
NarasimhA , when He tore apart HiraNyakasipu to protect the innocent
PrahlAdha. Through all these resemblences , You remind me of
SrI Devi , who always takes an appropriate form to suit that 
particular incarnation of Her Lord. Oh PaadhukE! You appear to
me like the consort of Lord NarasimhA with all the similarities 
cited". 

2) Oh PadhukE ! Perals, Diamonds are enmeshed in a base of gold
on you . When bhakthAs have your darsanam with all these features,
they are delighted. The lustre from Your pearls remind them of the 
glorious mane as Nara Simham. The hard diamonds remind them of the 
Lord's incisors. When the Lord looks at You , you appear like MahA 
Lakshmi , who took the avathAram befitting His Narasimha form .

3) Oh Maadhava PaadharakshE ! With the radiance of Your pearls , You
remind us of the majestic manes of the lion ( MukthAmsubhi: 
kEsaravathee); with the hard diamond (sTira Vajra) on You reminding 
of the incisors of Lord NarasimhA , you seem to have taken a form 
that matches well with that of Your Lord like MahA lakshmi, who takes 
an appropriate from befitting every one of the avathArams of Her Lord 
( NaaTasya uchithA Sriya:Moorthy bhavasi)...(V.S).
