Translation

Verse 1

The yajña-patnis gazed on Kṛṣṇa. Dressed in yellow garments, He was the origin of the splendor of monsoon clouds and lightning.

Verse 2

He wore a peacock feather crown on His head and a flower garland on His chest. Decorated with mineral pigments from Govardhana Hill, He was more handsome than a rainbow at sunset.

Verse 3

The beautiful red sunrise that illuminates the darkness yearns to become like the flowers in His hair.

Verse 4

With curling locks of hair on its forehead, and with lotus ears and raised cheeks, His smiling face was like a round moon with a pair of stars.

Verse 5

Very handsome, and wonderfully dressed as a dancing actor, He was like a regal cloud come to shower a rain of nectar.

Verse 6

His arm rested on a gopa friend's shoulder. The glory of His wonderful right hand eclipsed the splendid lotus flowers.
