On Sri Krishna\u2019s two arms Mother Yasoda has tied amulets for protection, which are inlaid with nine priceless jewels[1]<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sri Krishna\u2019s armlets are called Rangada. His bangles are called Cankana; His signet ring is called Ratnamukhi and His yellow cloth is named Nigama-sobhana, which means “the increaser of the Sruti’s[2]<\/a> beauty”.<\/span><\/p>\n

Krishna\u2019s waist belt is called Kalajhankara and His ankle bells are named Hamsaganjana. Their sweet tinkling steals the deer-eyed gopis\u2019 hearts, which are as restless as deer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Krishna\u2019s necklace is named Taravali, His jewelled beads are called Taditprabha, and the medallion on His chest is named Hridaya-modana, in which there is a picture of Sri Radha.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sri Krishna\u2019s jewel is called Kaustubha. When He entered Kaliya-hrada, the wives of the snake offered this jewel to Him with their own hands.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
