In this context the name "nava vidruma bimba shrI nyakkarI radana ChadA" of sahasranAma is relevant. Her lips put the freshly cut coral and the bimba fruits to shame. Verse 62 of saundaryalaharI brings out this point even better. ambAL's radiance itself is red in color as indicated by the first line (udyad.hbhaanu sahasrakoTisadR^ishaaM) and in that background if the lips look red, it has no comparison. shrI shankara concludes in the verse 62 that the only comparison for Her lips is Her lips alone. The term "smita danta pankti ruchirAm.h" means when She smiles Her radiant and bright teeth which are well arranged are revealed. Her radiant teeth denote the pure knowledge of brahman and this is indicated by the name shuddha vidyAN^kurAkAra dvija paN^kti dvayojjvalA. The term "pItAmbarAlaN^kR^itAm.h" means She is adorned with an yellow colored garment. This identifies Her as padmanAbha sahodarI, as shrIman nArAyaNa is often meditated wearing pItAmbaram.
