The full pitcher is a symbol to show that no inauspiciousness can come near the devotees. This mark also indicates that the feet can pour out nectar that extinguishes the blazing three-fold miseries of the separated devotees. PITCHER (kalasa) - This mark shows that lotus feet hold the golden pitcher full of purely nectarean ambrosia to be freely consumed by the surrendered souls indeed, they will never be bereft of nectar for this pitcher always remains full. The half-moon also indicates that since Lord´s toenails appear like ten splendorously full moons, the real moon has shriveled up in shame and appears in half-form. Just as the moon is one, yet it destroys the darkness seen by many people simultaneously, similarly the Lord is one and yet by His cleverness can deliver many souls at the same time. So that the minds of the devotees may reside at the feet, they bear the symbol of the moon (which is the devata or presiding deity of the mind) upon the feet. Just as the moon showers nectar with its cooling rays, similarly the lotus feet shower nectar upon the devotees, extinguishing the threefold material miseries. It also shows that devotees who likewise decorate their own head with the feet can become exalted like Lord Siva. It signifies that even devatas like Lord Siva (whose symbol is a half moon) have decorated their own heads with the soles of the feet. HALF-MOON (ardha-candra) - This mark symbolizes how lotus feet truly provide the desired objectives of the devotees.
