häram amalatara-täram urasi dadhataà p parilambya vidüram TranslationShri Hari has adorned his perfectly smooth chest with a necklace of bright pearls that repeatedly embrace his heart. It seems as if the water of the River Yamunä is carrying clusters of conspicuous foam. CommentaryIn this verse Kṛṣṇa is compared to the broad current of the River Yamunä. An auspicious necklace of pearls that hangs down to his knees repeatedly embraces his dark blue chest. It gives the impression that the dark blue water of the Yamunä has mixed with white foam and is directly manifesting there. It is also implied that the sättvika-bhäva of profuse perspiration is clearly visible on Kṛṣṇa’s body. |
