Is it not beauty also! For the term AzhiyARku<\/em> we can consider the meaning as \u2013 one who is having the divine disc. Then the meaning will change as \u2013 the colour of emperumAn will be contrasting to that of disc. Thus, just like it is for disc, the complexion of emperumAn will also be great. For such a person, is there a need for any other ornament!<\/p>\n azhaganRE aNdam kadaththal<\/strong> \u2013 it is not only the complexion, even the activity is beautiful.
