Garuda and Narayana / Body Colour

It is interesting to note that Lord Narayana always has the banner of Garuda. Garuda has never been vanquished. Consequently, Lord Narayana too is ever victorious. 

1. Among the Vyuha Murthis,Garuda is Sankarshana. 
2. Among the six auspicious qualities(JnAna, Bala, Aishwarya, Shakti, Tejas and Vatsalya) associatedwith Lord Narayana, Sankarshana denotes JnAna and Bala. 
3. Lord Narayana takes the form of four Vyuha Murthis, i.e. Vasudeva,Pradyumna, Aniruddha and Sankarshana. Similarly Garuda's body is made up of four colours. His face is black, his arms are red in colour (vermillon), his thighs are white like the Sun and his feetare of the HiraNya VarNa (yellow like gold).
