May the Lord of our life, in His youthful form flow in to our minds through His twinkling eyes, which are transformed by love, filled with beauty, graceful at every step, and appearing fresh and new at every moment, its loveliness increasing every time.

 

He is our praananaatha, the Lord of our life force, says Leelasuka, because He is the inner self of all. He lives in the heart of His devotees, His youthful form flowing like a stream of beauty through His eyes, which are twinkling with joy and love.

 

Normally we see a person at the eyes only which shows their heart. The eyes of the Lord is filled with love and beauty and looking at them one never gets satisfied as they are tender and graceful and one feels that he is seeing them anew every moment because the more you gaze at them they seem to convey more and more messages of love and mercy. This is the experience described by Leelasuka here.

 

The eyes are trnaformed, pariNatha, by love, praNaya, beauty and glory clinging to them,Sreebharaalambana. At every step His glance is tender and graceful, prathipadhalalitha, and you never have your fill by looking at them because you feel as though you are seeing them anew every time, prathyaham noothana. Hence they seem to be more and more attractive every moment. This is the experience of all devotees who gaze at the lotus-like eyes of the Lord

 

 

14. maaDhurya vaariDhi madhaambu tharangabhangee

Srngaara sankulitha Seetha kiSoravesham

Aamandhahaasalalithaanana chandhrabimbam

Aanandhasamplavam anu plavathaam mano me.

 

 

 

Let my mind plunge repeatedly into the waves of the flood of joy that is arising and breaking from the cool sea of sweetness, which dons the costume of a young boy, encompassing love, with his moon-like face beautiful with a smile.

 

Krishna is the sea of loveliness , soundaryalaharee , and of joy, aanandalaharee., maadhuryavaaridhi. The water of the sea is the ecstasy of joy of the gopis, madhaambu. The beauty of young Krishna, and his love expressed in his moon-like face rise and break ,tarangabhanagee, like the waves creating a flood of joy around and the hearts of the devotees take plunge in it again and again because he is also sringaaralaharee, ocean of love. His very form, kiSoravesham, emits love that pervades the whole universe, srngaarasamkulitham. His moon-like face, lalitha, dainty and Seetha , cool, is lit up with a smile, aamandahaasam On the whole it is aanandasamplavam, flood of joy.
