Verse 3
“Memories of Shri Kṛṣṇa are coming to me most vividly. His hair is adorned with a charming peacock feather, which is beautified by its natural half-moon-shaped design. His lustre resembles a mass of fresh rainclouds, coloured by an abundance of brilliant rainbows.” CommentaryThe circular pattern on the end of a peacock feather is called candraka. It also bestows joy like the moon (candramä). “Shri Kṛṣṇa’s hair is encircled by such sweet peacock feathers and his dark hue gives the impression of a fresh cloud decorated by many rainbows. The memory of his lovely, radiant figure comes to mind again and again.” |
