Verse 503

विन्दवोऽत्रयवाः सुवर्णसदृशा अस्येति सुवर्णबिन्दुः, ' आप्रणखात्सर्व एव सुवर्ण: ' इति श्रुतेः; शोभनो वर्णोऽक्षरं बिन्दुश्च यस्मिन्मन्त्रे तन्मन्त्रात्मा वा सुवर्णविन्दुः ॥इति नाम्नामष्टमं शतं विवृतम् ॥

In plain words

In this name, "bindu" means limb, and His limbs are like gold — so He is Suvarṇabindu. Scripture confirms it: "right down to the tips of His nails, He is gold, all of Him." Or read it the other way: a mantra that holds an auspicious syllable and its bindu — He is the self of that mantra, and so Suvarṇabindu. And with this, the eighth hundred of the names stands explained.

Close to the Sanskrit

The bindus here are the limbs; His are gold-resembling — thus, Suvarṇabinduḥ; because of the śruti, 'up to the nail-tips, all indeed is gold.' Or: that mantra in which there is an auspicious varṇa — a syllable — and a bindu, He who is the self of that mantra is Suvarṇabinduḥ. Thus the eighth hundred of the names has been expounded.
