SUMMARY: The form/appearance of Lord Krishna/the sky, possesses the brightness the glitter matching the blue glitter of Indraneelamani; His teeth/stars are charming like the just-blossomed Jasmine flowers; and it is also with the wild garland of fragrant celestial flowers that blossom on the great trees like Jatropha multifidi or the coral tree (Parijata) that fill all the directions with their rich aroma.

This stanza applies to both Lord Krishna and the Moon. The word Gagana in Sanskrit means the lotus feet of Lord Vishnu and under the pretext of describing the Lord Vishnu’s Lotus feet, Sri  Narayanapandita- charyaru has described the form or the appearance of Lord Vishnu. Pada or feet means the form or the shape. Therefore the feet of Vishnu should be conceived as the form of Lord Vishnu. Bharata Tatparya Nirnaya mentions: “UttamAnAm swarUpam tu pAdashabdEna BhaNyatE|

Sri Madhwacharyaru exemplified the transcendental figure of Lord Sri Krishna and the Moon lit the entire sky. Therefore, all the adjectives in this stanza apply to both Lord Krishna and the moon.

DwijAha means the teeth of women as well as stars. NagAha means hills as well as trees.

Bhavaprakashika explains:

SUMMARY: The charming face of Sri Krishna makes the slow-walking, unshying, smiling beautiful women of Gokul (Gopasundaris) happy and jubilant; the soft apparel he is wearing does not fade but sparkles, pervades, and is of the highest quality.

MrudugAmivimAnasampadA means Mandagamini or those who walk slowly and who have shed they shyness; the word VimAnasampadA in this word can also be interpreted as the wealth of slow-flying airplanes. Bhavaprakashika says:

GOpaha refers to guardians of heaven as well as guardians of cattle. Bhavaprakashika explains:

SUMMARY: Most revered Sri Poornaprajna, with his words, elucidated and illuminated that object of Sri Krishna which provides all the virtuous and righteous people with the proper end in the world hereafter (Sadgati), that supreme object of high qualities of Ananda (happiness/bliss) Jnana (Knowledge) and is complete with all qualities; Moon cleared the darkness from the Sky representing the sound, with is rays and this is the only difference between the two.

 At that time, the Moon had brightened the sky with his moonlight and Poornaprajna Sri Madhwaru enlightened the people by explaining the philosophy of Lord Krishna.

Moon lights up the sky alone with his moonlight. But, Sri Madhwacharyaru enlightened the virtuous with his description of Lord Vishnu and his infinite qualities; thus, the work and words of Sri Madhwaru are greater than the Moonlight.

Here is a description of Sri Madhwaru delivering a discourse on Sri Bhagavata.
