The childhood form of Krishna attracts even the celestial damsels who follow his activities from the heavens above even though they were well versed in the art of love and are enchanting with their eyes. The glances of gopis on the other hand, look at his form with loving glances. 52. aapaadham aachoodam athiprasakthaiH aapeeyamaanaa yaminaam manobhiH gopeejanajnaatha rasaa avathaath naH gopaalabhoopaala kumaaramoorthiH May the young form of Krishna, kumaaramoorthiH, the Lord of cowherds, gopaala bhoopaala, which is imbibed, aapeeyamaanaa, from head to foot, aapaadham aachoodam, by the minds of the sages, yaminaam manobhiH, who have deep devotion, athiprasakthaiH, the joy of which is well known to the gopis, gopeejanajnaatha rasaa, protect us. The sages with deep devotion meditate on the youthful form of Krishna and visualizing it in front, savour the beauty of Krishna from feet to head. This is enjoyed by the gopis all the time in front without any need for yogic perception. Srimadbhagavatham details the method of worship of the Lord limb by limb. This is usually done in two ways, either from feet to head or vice versa. Here the yogis are said to meditate on the form of the Lord from feet up because they surrender their ego at His feet by self control. For devotees who enjoy looking at he lotus face of the Lord it is other way round, by starting a His face and moving sown to His feet where they surrender themselves. 53.dhishtyaa brndhaavana mrgadhrSaam viprayogaakulaanaam prathyaasannam praNaya chapala apaanga veechee tharangaiH lakshmee leela kuvalayadhala Syaamalam Dhaama kaamaan pushNeeyaath naH pulakamukula aabhoga bhooshaa viSesham May the light, Dhaama, that is Krishna, who has appeared in front of the gopis of Brindavan, brindhaavanamrgadhrSaam prathyaasannam, who were forlorn with the pain of separation, viprayogaakulaanaam, due to their good fortune, dhishtyaa, with his eyes moving with love sending the waves of glances towards them, praNayachapala apaangaveechee tharngaiH and who was blue like the lotus held by Lakshmi for play, laKshmee leelaa kuvaladhala Syaamalam, and decorated by the sprouting horripilation, pulaka mukula aabhoga bhooshaaviSesham, fulfil our desires pushNeeyaath naH. This sloka refers to the incident during rasakreeda when the gopis became proud that they were able to attract Krishna, each one thinking that Krishna loves her only. Then to teach them a lesson Krishna disappeared and they were miserable on being separated from him and lamented on it and taking pity on them Krihna appeared before themand they sang his praise which is known as the famous gopika-geetham in Srimadbhagavatham. The appearance of Krishna was their good fortune, says Leelasuka, and Krishna was looking like a blue lotus held by Lakshmi, signifying the wealth of the gopis which was the union with Krishna, who was sending the waves of loving glances towards them and his only ornament being the budding horripilation through love. 54.jayathi guruSikheendhra picChamouliH suragirigairika kalpithaangaraagaH surayuvathi vikeerNa soonavarsha snaapitha vibhooshitha kunthalaH kumaaraH May the boy Krishna, kumaaraH, who wears the feather of the peacock of SkanDha on his head, guruSikheendhra picchamouliH, his body being smeared by the red stone, gairika kalpitha angaraagaH, from the mount Meru , suragiri, and whose tresses are bathed and decorated by the flowers showered by the celestial damsels, surayuvathi vikeerNa soona varshasnaapithaH bhoohithaH cha, be victorious. Krishna is wearing the peacock feather on his head and Leelasuka imagines that it has come from the peacock which is the vehicle of Lord Skandha, as nothing inferior than that deserves to be the head ornament of the Lord. Similarly the red colour on his chest that has made from the red stone from the mountains must have come from the Mount Meru itself and the flowers that are found decorating his tresses must have been showered by the celestial damsels. The word referring to SkanDHa is guru as he is kumaraguruopara. 55.maDhura mandha Suchismitha manjulam vadhana pankajam angaja vellitham vijayathaam vrajabaala vaDhoojana sthanathatee viluTath nayanam vibhoH May the lotus-face of Lord Krishna, vibhoH vadhanapankajam, with its sweet, soft and charming smile, maDhura mandha Suchismitha manjulam, making even the god of love tremble, angaja vellitham, with eyes roaming around, viluTath nayanam, the beautiful form of gopis, be victorious. Seeing the face of Krishna even the god of love, Manmatha , trembles with fear that he has become inferior in beauty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
