सुरत्नाङ्गदैरन्वितं बाहुदण्डै श्चतुर्भिश्चलत्कङ्कणालंकृताग्रैः उदारोदरालंकृतं पीतवस्त्रं पदद्वन्द्वनिर्धूतपद्माभिरामम् ॥७॥

Word breakdown

सुरत्नाङ्गदैरन्वितं बाहुदण्डै
With arm-staffs adorned with divine gem-armlets,
श्चतुर्भिश्चलत्कङ्कणालंकृताग्रैः
with four, their tips adorned with moving bracelets,
उदारोदरालंकृतं पीतवस्त्रं
with generous belly adorned, with yellow garment,
पदद्वन्द्वनिर्धूतपद्माभिरामम्
with pair of feet charming, having dispelled the lotus.

The four arms and lotus feet that outshine the lotus symbolize the Lord's power to uphold and to release. Feet that destroy the lotus of samsara are the refuge in which the seeker finds the ground that was always present as the Self.
