Purport
Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī explains that the weaver adorned the Lords with cloth armlets and earrings that looked just like jewels. The word
anurūpataḥ
indicates that the colors matched nicely.
Purport (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
The vayakah is one who weaves using bamboo. He dressed Krsna and Balarama in soft silk cloth of gold color embedded with jewels and ornaments, suitable for wresters who after massaging their bodies, dress them in soft cloth.
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
Having punished the wicked in order to give joy to the righteous, Kṛṣṇa then showed mercy to the righteous. First he gave mercy to the weaver. After the killing of the washer man and putting on the clothes, a weaver, showing affection, made ornaments like bracelets and earrings for the two boys out of gems, gold and cloth of various colors, brought from his house. Where did they put their jewels they were already wearing? Why did he give cloth ornaments? These ornaments were suitable (anurūpataḥ) for his wrestling pastimes in which his limbs would be pressed. And the ornaments were suitable for each of them.
