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.
