CommentaryKṛṣṇa’s beautiful curling locks are adorned with radiant, fully blossomed flowers. Their splendour gives the impression that the moon is hidden amongstst a mass of dark clouds. Alternatively, the rays of the moon are pervading his dark tresses. Another interpretation suggests that the moon is rising in the midst of the clouds. Clusters of flowers are clearly visible where the moon shines in between small clouds. And wherever the moonshine is not visible, the clouds turn into lampblack. The tilaka of Malaya sandalwood paste on Kṛṣṇa’s dark forehead looks like the full moon risen in the midst of the dark sky. The presence of Rädhä makes Kṛṣṇa’s clothing and ornaments become golden. Now Rädhä is looking at that golden Çyämasundara.
