Sri Krishna is full of erotic ras.  The saint poets start describing His sweetness from the tip of His head, starting with the peacock-feathers.

Explanation for “moulish-chandraka-bhushanah”

“moulish-chandraka-bhushanah” means ‘He sports a remarkable chudâ decorated with peacock-feathers on His head.’ Poet Srila Gyâna dâs is an expert in describing the sweetness of the peacock-feather-chudâ –

“Who has adorned His chudâ with peacock–feathers that steals the hearts of women?  It appears like a rainbow atop fresh clouds in the sky. And who has encircled His chudâ with garlands of Mallikâ and Mâlati flowers?  It appears like the river Gangâ is pouring forth in all directions from the peaks of the Nilgiri (Blue) Mountain.

Buzzing bees are hovering around the Mallikâ and Mâlati garlands around His locks that tumble on His forehead while the fine peacock-feathers quiver on His glossy hair.

Sajani! Kâno is very charming indeed! He pierces the family honour with His crooked glance and destroys the dignity of countless respectable women. His face sparkles like an emerald mirror and His eyebrows arch dangerously like the bow of the Love-god. The chandan-tilak on His forehead shines like a disreputable moon. He wears a golden yellow robe with gem-studded accessories sparkling all over His body while a garland of wild flowers swings on His bosom. Poet Gyâna dâs says – He looks as gorgeous as a lightning embracing the Tamâl tree.”

“Sri Krishna’s splendour is like that of the blue sapphire, mascara-paste, cluster of clouds and the blue lotus; his hair is pitch black, smooth and glossy. His chudâ decorated with peacock-feathers steal the heart.”

However, here we find the poet has described His complexion as “marakata-stambha-abhirâmam” – His body is more stunning than an emerald-pillar.
