Sri Krishna is full of erotic ras. <\/em>\u00a0<\/span>The saint poets start describing His sweetness from the tip of His head, starting with the peacock-feathers. <\/span><\/p>\n

Explanation for “moulish-chandraka-bhushanah\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“moulish-chandraka-bhushanah\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/em> means \u2018He sports a remarkable chud\u00e2 <\/em>decorated with peacock-feathers on His head.\u2019 Poet Srila Gy\u00e2na d\u00e2s is an expert in describing the sweetness of the peacock-feather-chud\u00e2 \u2013 <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Who has adorned His chud\u00e2 <\/em>with peacock\u2013feathers that steals the hearts of women?\u00a0 <\/span>It appears like a rainbow atop fresh clouds in the sky. And who has encircled His chud\u00e2<\/em> with garlands of Mallik\u00e2 and M\u00e2lati flowers?\u00a0 <\/span>It appears like the river Gang\u00e2 is pouring forth in all directions from the peaks of the Nilgiri (Blue) Mountain.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Buzzing bees are hovering around the Mallik\u00e2 and M\u00e2lati garlands around His locks that tumble on His forehead while the fine peacock-feathers quiver on His glossy hair. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sajani! K\u00e2no 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<\/em> 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 Gy\u00e2na d\u00e2s says \u2013 He looks as gorgeous as a lightning embracing the Tam\u00e2l tree.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

How is Sri Krishna\u2019s complexion?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

“Sri Krishna\u2019s 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 chud\u00e2<\/em> decorated with peacock-feathers steal the heart.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, here we find the poet has described His complexion as “marakata-stambha-abhir\u00e2mam\u201d<\/strong><\/em> \u2013 <\/strong>His body is more stunning than an emerald-pillar. <\/span><\/p>\n
