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)

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).

Daasoham.

Kindly let me know whether the emeralds are on the outside or inside since you have said in "Uthamur Swamy's anubhavam" that the green stones are on the outside. Sorry for the impertinence.
