Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

564. sUryAthmajA harishilAmaNipankthilakshyAth
     thvAm nithyamAshrithavathI maNipAdharakshE!
     AdhoU janArdhanapadhE kshaNamAthralagnAm
     AsannamoUkthikaruchA hasathIva gangAm

Oh Manipaaduka! The river Yamuna (daughter of the sun-god) that 
appears on You in the manner of blue gems perhaps ridicules at the 
Ganga-this is evident in pearls all around. The reason is whereas the 
Ganga had contact with the Lord's Feet only once momentarily, the 
Yamuna had perennial connection with the Lord's Feet (during 
Krishnavatara).

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

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

SlOkam 564

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam : Oh gem-bedecked Paadhukais of the 
Lord! Your darkish blue radiations from the sapphires are always 
associated with the Lord's holy feet . This is like Yamuna with her 
dark waters residing there. That Yamuna sees the birth of Ganga from 
there (Lord's feet) during the ThrivikramAvathAram.  Ganga with its 
sparkling white waters  reminds me of the pearls on the Paadhukais; 
Yamunaa's  bluish dark lustre reminds me of the sapphires. The 
admixture of these two different lustres makes me think that
Yamuna is laughing at Ganga for latter's short period of association 
with the Lord's Thiruvadi. The white lustre is equated here to the 
smile of Yamunaa.

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that BhagavAn 
has many BhakthAs and yet there is no one like NammAzhwAr, who never 
ever leaves the side  of the Lord.

3) The rows of the dark blue sapphires are like the daughter of Sun , 
river Yamuna (HarisilAmaNi  pankthi-lakshyAth  SooryAthmajA  ThvAm 
nithyam aasrithavathi). The white-hued pearls are near by ( aasanna 
moukthika ruchA ). That reminds one of YamunA at the feet of the 
Lord  smiling at GangA, who had only a short span of association with 
the Lord `s Thiruvadi during ThrivikramAvathAram ( aadhou 
JanArdhana padhE kshanamAthra lagnAm GangAm hasathIva)..(V.S).
