Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

841. shONOpalaIscharaNarakshiNi! samshrithEShu
ChAyAthmanA marathakEShu thavAvagADa:
anvEthi shoUriraBhitha: PhalapankthishOBhi-
nyAthmAnamEva shayitham vatapathramaDhyE

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)

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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
( ChAyAthmanA avaghADa: Souri: abhitha Phala pankthi 
sObhini VaDapathra madhyE sayithAm aathmAnamEva 
anvEthi)...(V.S).
