Description of Lord Kṛṣṇa's Handsome Form

kṛṣṇera prasāde gopa baise bṛndābane
roga śoka bhaya kichui na jāne

By Lord Kṛṣṇa's mercy, the gopa people in Vṛndāvana did not know anything of disease, lamentation, or fear.

At every moment Govinda protected everyone. All the sins of every past birth were thrown far away.

When He attained the age of twelve years, Kṛṣṇa became very handsome. He enchanted all the worlds.

His lotus face defeated the full moon. His charming eyes defeated the khañjana birds.

He wore a peacock feather atop His curly hair. He wore earrings of rubies and diamonds.

On His chest was a flower garland of many colors. On His hands were golden rings and bracelets.

On His feet were anklets and on His graceful head a crown. Accompanied by many boys, He who is the master of the universes passed His time protecting the calves.

His body adorned with a yellow dhotī and a forest-flower garland, He was like a monsoon cloud accompanied by lightning

His face was splendid like a mirror of pastime jewels. His drops of perspiration were like a row of stars.

When they saw Kṛṣṇa, the young girls could not stay peaceful at heart. When they thought of Kṛṣṇa's feet, the gopīs were tormented by desire.

Their hearts burning with passion, and they fear and shyness broken to pieces, the young girls abandoned their husbands.

Day and night, the young girls thought of Kṛṣṇa. They could not think of their household duties.

They thought, "Where is Kṛṣṇa? What shall I do to be able to see Him?"

As they thought of Kṛṣṇa in this way, they could see Him residing in their hearts.

Aware of their hearts, Kṛṣṇa will manifest His yogamāyā potency and enjoy a rāsa-dance pastime with them in Vṛndāvana forest.

Handsome Kṛṣṇa walked by the Yamunā's shore, where the trees and vines bore many flowers.

With one heart please hear, O people, Guṇarāja Khān's description of Lord Kṛṣṇa's feet, a description that lifts us out of the world of birth and death.
