Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

557. dhEhadhyuthim prakatayanthi mahEndhranIlA:
     shoUrE: padhAmbhujaruchim thava padhmarAgA:
     anyOnyalabDhaparaBhAgathayA thvamIShAm
     ABhAthi kAnthiraparA maNipAdharakshE!

Oh Manipaaduka! Whereas the sapphire gems in You reveal the body 
beauty of the Lord and the red rubies, the beauty of the Lotus Feet, 
the mutual contrast-nature between the two colours evidences a yet 
another comeliness!

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam: 557

1) UtthamUr Sawmy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! with your dark blue 
radiation from your sapphires, You celebrate the color of the body of 
Your Lord. With Your red ruby radiations , You remind one of the 
Lord's lotus feet. The competition between these two different colors 
make you assume a superior effulgence, which is different from these 
two colors.

2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! The indra neela gem 
stones reminds one of the Lord's hue. The red hue of the padhmarAga 
stones on You reminds one of the sole of the feet of the Lord. When 
these two hues intermingle, it is a beautiful sight . AzhwAr's 
paasurams on vislEsham and samslEsham are beautiful in their own 
rights. When one enjoys them together, they have their own special 
sweetness.

3)" Tava mahEndera neela: SourE: dEha dhyuthim prakaDayanthi" ( Oh 
PaadhukE ! The lustre of the sapphires on You   remind one of the 
kanthi of Your Lord's ThirumEni ). "PadhmarAgA:  padhAmbhuja ruchim 
prakaDayanthi "( The red rubies highlight the hue of the inner soul 
of Your Lord's Thiruvadi). When they are united together , they have 
a matchless superior lustre ( amIshAm Kaanthisthu anyOnya labdha 
parabhAgathayA aparA aabhAthi)…(V.S).
