The Lord's beauty resembles a dark cloud during the rainy season. As the
rainfall glistens, His bodily features also glisten. Indeed, He is the sum
total of all beauty. The Lord has four arms and an exquisitely beautiful
face with eyes like lotus petals, a beautiful highly raised nose, a
mind-attracting smile, a beautiful forehead and equally beautiful and fully
decorated ears.
The Lord is superexcellently beautiful on account of His open and merciful
smile and His sidelong glance upon His devotees. His black hair is curly,
and His garments, waving in the wind, appear like flying saffron pollen from
lotus flowers. His glittering earrings, shining helmet, bangles, garland,
ankle bells, waist belt and various other bodily ornaments combine with
conchshell, disc, club and lotus flower to increase the natural beauty of
the Kaustubha pearl on His chest.
The Lord has shoulders just like a lion's. Upon these shoulders are
garlands, necklaces and epaulets, and all of these are always glittering.
Besides these, there is the beauty of the Kaustubha-mani pearl, and on the
dark chest of the Lord there are streaks named Srivatsa, which are signs of
the goddess of fortune. The glittering of these streaks excels the beauty of
the golden streaks on a gold-testing stone. Indeed, such beauty defeats a
gold-testing stone.
The Lord's abdomen is beautiful due to three ripples in the flesh. Being so
round, His abdomen resembles the leaf of a banyan tree, and when He exhales
and inhales, the movement of the ripples appears very, very beautiful. The
coils within the navel of the Lord are so deep that it appears that the
entire universe sprouted out of it and yet again wishes to go back.
The lower part of the Lord's waist is dark and covered with yellow garments
and a belt bedecked with golden embroidery work. His symmetrical lotus feet
and the calves, thighs and joints of His legs are extraordinarily beautiful.
Indeed, the Lord's entire body appears to be well built.
My dear Lord, Your two lotus feet are so beautiful that they appear like two
blossoming petals of the lotus flower which grows during the autumn season.
Indeed, the nails of Your lotus feet emanate such a great effulgence that
they immediately dissipate all the darkness in the heart of a conditioned
soul. My dear Lord, kindly show me that form of Yours which always
dissipates all kinds of darkness in the heart of a devotee.
