Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

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

551. AsakthavAsavashilAkalAsthvadhIyA: 
     padhmAsahAyapadharakshiNi! padhmarAgA:
     prathyakshayanthi kamapi BhramarABhilInAm
     pAdhAravindhamakarandharasapravAham

Oh Paaduka of Padmapati! The blue and red gems on You give a phantom 
of situation that the blue bees hover around red droplets of honey 
dripping from the Lotus Feet (on to the Paaduka).

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan

SlOkam 551:

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

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Here, Swamy Desikan describes once 
again as to how the Yogis achieve their objective of visualizing the 
Lord's lotus feet. He says: " Oh Paadhukais of the consort of MahA 
Lakshmi! The blue sapphires united with rubies give the impression of 
blue skinned bees tasting the honey flowing from the Lord's feet ." 
The bees referred to as Yogis and  the scintillating rays of rubies 
on the paadhukais are equated to the flow of honey flowing from 
the lotus feet of the Lord. 

2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! On Your surface , the 
sapphire and rubies are  enmeshed. That looks like the honey 
originating from the lotus feet of the Lord attracting the blue hued 
honey bees sitting on the Lord's Thiruvadi to enjoy the honey . The 
inner meaning is that the Lord completely loses Himself, when he 
enjoys the AzhwAr's Paasurams with great affection . 

3) The blue sapphire ( vaasava silA : ) is enmeshed right next to the 
red rubies(Padhma Raagam). The blue sapphire pieces tightly surround 
the larger red gems ( aasaktha sakalA: ThvadeeyA: PadhmarAgA: ). That 
scene appears like ( prathyakshanthi )the blue hued honey bees ( 
bramara abhleenam )  united with the honey from the lotus of the 
Lord's sacred feet ( Bramara kamapi paadha  aravindha makarandha rasa 
pravAham )Â…V.S
