The sweet, attractive transcendental form of Krsna is so
nice. Just try to understand it. Even a fractional understanding of Krsna's
beauty can merge all three worlds in the ocean of love. He attracts all the
living entities within the three worlds.
Ornaments caress that body, but the transcendental body of Krsna is so
beautiful that it beautifies the ornaments He wears. Therefore Krsna's body is
said to be the ornament of ornaments. Despite the wonderful beauty of Krsna,
there is His three-curved style of standing, which beautifies that form.
Krsna wears a pearl necklace that appears like a chain of white ducks around
His neck. The peacock feather in His hair appears like a rainbow, and His yellow
garments appear like lightning in the sky. Krsna appears like a newly risen
cloud, and the gopis appear like newly grown grains in the field. Constant rains
of nectarean pastimes fall upon these newly grown grains, and it seems that the
gopis are receiving beams of life from Krsna, exactly as grains receive life
from the rains.
The quintessence of Krsna's sweet bodily luster is so perfect that there is
no perfection above it. He is the immutable mine of all transcendental
qualities.'
The face of Krsna is the king of all moons, and the body of Krsna is the
throne. Thus the king governs a society of moons.
The entire face is called the king of moons. The mouth is another moon, the
left cheek is a moon, and the right cheek is a moon. The spots of sandalwood
pulp on Krsna's face are also considered different moons, and His fingernails
and toenails are also different moons. His forehead is considered a half moon,
His face is considered the king of moons, and His body is considered the throne.
All the other candras (moons) are considered to be subordinate moons.
Krsna has two cheeks that shine like glowing gems. Both are considered full
moons. His forehead is considered a half moon, and His spots of sandalwood are
considered full moons.
His fingernails are many full moons, and they dance on the flute on His
hands. Their song is the melody of that flute. His toenails are also many full
moons, and they dance on the ground. Their song is the jingling of His ankle
bells.
Krsna's face is the enjoyer king. That full-moon face makes His shark-shaped
earrings and lotus eyes dance. His eyebrows are like bows, and His eyes are like
arrows. His ears are fixed on the string of that bow, and when His eyes spread
to His ears, He pierces the hearts of the gopis.
"The dancing features of His face surpass all other full moons and expand the
marketplace of full moons. Although priceless, the nectar of Krsna's face is
distributed to everyone. Some purchase the moonrays of His sweet smiles, and
others purchase the nectar of His lips. Thus He pleases everyone.
Krsna has two reddish, widely spread eyes. These are ministers of the king,
and they subdue the pride of Cupid, who also has beautiful eyes. That face of
Govinda, which is full of happiness, is the home of the pastimes of beauty, and
it is very pleasing to everyone's eyes.
The transcendental form of Lord Sri Krsna is compared to an ocean. A
particularly extraordinary vision is the moon above that ocean, and another
vision is His smile, which is sweeter than sweet and is like shining beams of
moonlight.
The transcendental body of Krsna is very sweet, and His face is
even sweeter than His body. The soft smile on His face, which is like the
fragrance of honey, is sweeter still.
Krsna's body is a city of attractive features, and it is sweeter than sweet.
His face, which is like the moon, is sweeter still, and the gentle smile on that
moonlike face is like rays of moonshine.
