Srila Bhatta Goswâmipâd says Sri Lilâshuk has experienced the marvel of Sri Krishna’s sweet kishor-beauty to the maximum extent. He is expressing his wonder in this verse. He is arousing faith in the heart of the wise devotees by swearing that Sri Krishna’s beauty and sweetness is exceptional. We see that the material human body too looks attractive in the threshold of youth. However, Sri Krishna’s kishor- beauty is not like that. His sweetness steals the hearts of even the self-realized souls who have no attraction for material beauty whatsoever. In the kaishor stage, His eyes, lips, cheeks and the flirtatious movement of His eyebrows are especially sweet. His causeless mercy breathes life into the dead. Furthermore, His compassionate, expressive and mischievous glances, coupled with playful movement of His eyebrows are as fantastic as they are sweet! What’s more, His mysterious and seductive smile is a rare sight even for the Devatâs. Srila Bhatta Goswâmipâd has explained daivatam as follows –
“Sri Krishna is the Supreme Controller. He manifests countless incarnations by His Own free will. Therefore He is worthy of being called ‘devatâ’ or God. Nonetheless His sweet kaishor is extraordinary even for Him.”
Srimad-Bhâgavatam vouches –
“Sri Krishna’s sweetness beautifies the ornaments He wears and forces him to marvel at His own beauty.”
– (Srimad-Bhâgavatam 3.2.12)
The poet declares, “I give my promise that all this is true.”
Srila Chaitanyadâs Goswâmi elucidates: Sri Lilâshuk has a sphurti of Sri Krishna’s kaishor. He realizes how extraordinary it is and recites this verse in amazement. The poet is pondering, “Sri Krishna’s darshan is impossible for me – do you have any doubt? I can swear that His lotus like sweet face and wonderful kaishor is rare to all celestial beings – right from the heavens up to the Vaikuntha planets”. He thought a while and said, “When His darshan is so rare, His mercy and compassionate glance must be more exceptional. His beauty and seductive smile is all the more inconceivable.”55.
