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

Oh Paaduka! You are prone to experience communion with the Lord
frequently. Befitting this previlege, You bear on Yourself natural
streaks, that clearly depict leaves and creepers as a sweetheart is
wont to paint on her face and body before joining her lover. (It is
obvious that Azhvars and Acharyas bear the true emblems of
Paramabhakti on them, which qualifies them for merger with the Lord.
Here, in this verse, 'subhaga Bhakti' may also mean pleasant
devoton apart from well-demarcated).
Namo Narayana,
SriMuralidhara Dasan
Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
slOkam 819
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! As the dear mistress of
Your Lord, You carry the special decorative marks in the form of Your
lines and patterns. They are similar to the patterns formed on
women's bodies with vermillion by her lover. Those patterns of
vermillion disappear with time. The lines and patterns formed as a
result of love play between You and Your Lord however are permanently
seen on Your surface and attest to the everlasting love between both
of You.
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Swamy Desikan refers to MakrikA
pathrams (the drawings created on the cheeks and shoulders of a lady
during bhOgam) here. The rEkhAs on the Paadhukais reminds Swamy
Desikan of these makarikA pathrams associated with love play . The
inner meaning is that the AzhwAr and AchAryAs have superior bhakthi
for the Lord that He is delighted to enjoy.
3) Oh PaadhukA ! You have the fitness to be united with the sacred
feet of PurushOtthaman, Your Lord often ( Thvam Prathipadham
Paramasya Pumsa: pAdhAravaindha paribhOga visEsha yOgyA) . You adorn
His lotus feet. You display naturally born rows and rows of
delightful rEkhAs on Your surface born out of superior bhakthi to
Your Lord , which remind us of the Makarapathrams drawn
by lovers ( Thvam svabhAvikAn subhaga bhakthi-visEsha dhrusyAn
rEkhAthmakAn pathralathA-visEshAn vahasi)...(V.S).
