You are the gold that scintillates like the peacock neck. Such a purest gold rightly adorns the gem, that Ranganatha is, that is a fit ornament to the chest of Lakshmi. Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S): SlOkam 736 1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! In Your pure radiant form , Your color resembles the golden color seen on the neck region of the peacocks. With that beautiful golden color , You become fit to decorate the black gem of a Lord adorning the breast region of Maha Lakshmi. In Taathparya ChandrikA , Swamy Desikan suggested that the true color of the gold is seen in the necks of peacocks based on the rules of silpa sAsthrA.Here, Swamy Desikan states that the beauty of the dark gems of KrishNA is enhanced by the golden color of His PaadhukA.
