  His auspicious physiogomy shoes that he creates and brings peace as well as

Explanation :

 

1.The very structure of the body is auspicious in the case of an Avatar,

example, Rama and Krishna .

 

2.,3.The Lord creates peace toall since he is the creator of everything

including peace .

 

4,5.He created joy to the beings of the earth since he is the presence filling

the earth globe . Those who enjoy in the material pleasures of senses and mind

are called the children of the earth. Even those beings have their own enjoyment

of food, drink,bed etc . in their own way. This is because of the Lord’s

presence in all planes including the earth plane . Traditionally speaking, the

moon is a said to give pleasure to the children of the earth . This is because

the moon governs the mind and senses and the moon is a form of the Lord’s

grace being showered as moon beams .

 

6.The Lord presides over the welfare of the cattle as we see in the Avatar of

Lord Krishna . He presides over the zodiacal sign of the bull and as an avatar,

he was born under the influence of this sign . Hence he is the Lord who presides

over the splendour of that  sign.

 

7,8. In the functions of the sign Taurus he conceals this spleadour of the earth

(agriculture) and that of the cattle (milk and milk products ).This he does

through the influence of the star rohini (Aldebaran) which is called the star of

the eye of the bull .

 

9.For this reason,he was being liked by the bulls in his cattle herd . All cows

and bulls gathered around Him in ecstasies whenever he played on his flute .
