So that's why here used the expression 'The plumes of a peacock, purple and green'.In the moonlight night the Weaver's attitudes changed, they become serious and calm. The garment is white colour like feather and cloud. They are weaving the cloths of a Dead man's funeral shroud. It clearly indicates the old age of a person. The white colour feather and cloud are carrying to the statement that the end of life, feather had come out from the wing now it has no use and the cloud is moving, after few minutes we can't see the cloud in the actual place.
