The left hand is NOT "adjusting the jewellary"....It is interpreted by our poorvAchAryAs as saying , "if you take my refuge, the samsAra sAgaram will only be knee deep for you... " ! Also, talking of Koumudaki, Lord holds this in His right hand except in some archa murthys like Sri Chennakesavasa Swamy, who seems to be holding this in His left hand, while the right hand is busy gracing bhagavathas, while Lord Venkateshwara, as in Tirupathi, does not sport this mace as His left hand is busy adjusting the jewellary while the right hand, rightfully so, showing the bhagavathas, His divyapadams. Some may voice their opinion on this gesture (incidentally the only gesture where bhagavathas are directed towards His divyapadam), but this shows that, He being Supreme God Head, His divyapadam is the paramapadam for jeevas. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
