The peacock is symbolic of vanity and pride. The serpent represents ego, the carnal personality of man which wants the mundane pleasures. The ego is created by avidya or ignorance and this must be kept in check and channeled to discover the Truth. The peacock holding the serpent within its claws conveys this Truth. The manifestation of Shanmugan is the everlasting testament of victory, of Truth over falsehood, of dharma over adharma. And those who fight against adharmic forces within or around themselves, are said to be the 'faithful warriors of Murukan' and reflect his splendor - the Muruga amsam.
