[Guest guest]

Kaka paksa dhara refers not to crow feathers but to a hair style. this is

also mentioned in BRS by Rupa goswami in describing KRsna's different hair

styles.

The sight of the charming child with thin waist, slightly broadened chest,

and three braids tied at the back of His head completely stunned His mother.

 

 

Jia goswami:

Apacéyamäna-madhyaù means that the waist became slightly thinner on its

own, by itself. It is a reflexive verb form. Käka-pakña means that three

braids, one on the left, one on the right and one in the center, were tied

together at the back.
