Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

559. AsannavAsavashilAshakalAsthvadhIyA:
     padhmEkshaNasya padharakshiNi! padhmarAgA:
     samBhAvayanthi samayE kvachidhuShNaBhAnO:
     sadhya: prasUthayamunAsuBhagAmavasThAm

Oh Paaduka! The (blue) sapphire gems and the (red) rubies in You 
exhibit a situation dating back to the day when the sun (red) had 
then only given birth to the Yamuna river (blue).

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 559:

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukAs of the Lord ! The dark 
bluish sheen of Your sapphires mingling with the lustre of Your dark 
red rubies reminds me of the newly born river YamunA flowing next to 
her father Sooryan.( PurANAs describe YamunA to be the daughter of 
Sooryan. The coexistence of the dark blue and red lustre on the 
PaadhukAs remind Swamy Desikan of the dark daughter and the bright 
red Sooryan, the father ).

2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: The combination of the dark blue 
colors of sapphire with the red rubies gives the appearance of the 
infant daughter Yamuna resting on the lap of the father , Sooryan. 
The inner meaning is that the clear enjoyment of the union of the 
AzhwAr with the Lord as expressed in his paasurams is like the white 
diamond (Sooryan ) and the vislEsham ( sorrow from separation
from the Lord is like the bluish sapphire (YamunA). 

3) Vaasava silA is Indhra neelam or sapphire. Padhmaraagam is the red 
ruby. They exist side by side beautifully with each other on the 
paadhukai of the Lord( aasanna Vaasava silA kachith-samayE  
Thvadheeyaa: PadhmarAghA: ruchiraa: ). That reminds Swamy Desikan of 
the just born dark-hued daughter YamunA United with her father, 
Sooryan ( kachith-samayE UshNabhAnO: sadhya: prasoodha: YamunA  
subhagAm avasTAm sambhAvayanthi)…(V.S).
