I mean He whom the writer of the Bhagavata was not content to call an Incarnation but says, "The other Incarnations were but parts of the Lord. The next is He who is worshipped in various forms, the favourite ideal of men as well as of women, the ideal of children, as well as of grown-up men. He is Padmanabha (one with lotus at navel), moving like a boy amongst us. He is the divine gem in the ocean of milk. He is the sapphire (Indraneelam), our protector, dwelling in Sri Venkatadri (Seshachalam). He is like the topaz (pushyaragam) on the heads of Kaliya (serpent). He is lotus-eyed (Kamalaksha), our saviour.|| He is the cat's eye (vydooryam) in between conch (Sankham) and discus (Chakram). He is the agate (gomedhikamu) that lifted Govardhana mountain. He is the coral (pagadamu) of beautiful Rukmini. Dwelling in everyone, He is our little Krishna.|| He is the emerald (paccha) of the three worlds (lokas), radiating light. He is the vajrayudham (all-powerful diamond like weapon) to the evil Kamsa. He is the manikyam (ruby) of all gopikas. He is the lovely toddler (pearl) of Yashoda, playing in her front yard. In this lovely song, Annamayya describes the beauty of child Krishna, comparing him with the various precious stones like diamond, ruby, sapphire, etc.
