Oh Paaduka! With the red stones all around and with the green ones in
the inside, the Lord being reflected creates an imagery of the
Vatapatra say, the Lord reclining in a banyan leaf, surrounded by the
banyan fruits. (see verse 717)

Special Notes from V.Sadagopan (V.S ):
***********************************************
SlOkam 841
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: In the 717th slOkam , Swamy Desikan
described the image of the Lord reflected on the PaadhukAs as
Vatapatra Saayee or the child lying on a pupil leaf. Here, he takes
that analogy further and weaves in the combined image presented by
the rubies and the emeralds adorning the PadhukAs. He says: "Oh
PaadhukE! Your red rubies surrounded by green emeralds reflect Your
Lord as a child resting on the green leaf of a pupil tree demarcated
by the rows of red fruits of the pupil tree.
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! The imagery of the
Green gem stones embedded on you with the red gem stones reminds us
of Lord Vatapathra Saayee resting on the Pupil leaf surrounded by the
red fruits of the Pupil tree during PraLayam.
3) Oh Protector of the Lord's sacred feet (CharaNa RakshaNi ) !
The image of the PadhmarAga stones with emeralds on Your
surface ( sONOpalai: samsrithEshu Tava MaratakEshu chAyA )
reminds one of the PrathibimBham of your Lord resting on
a green pupil leaf surrounded by the red fruits of the Pupil tree
