\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\u201cMy dear Lord, I wish to see You in Your original form, which is very dear to the devotees, for only by visualizing that form can all the demands of the senses become perfectly satisfied. The Lord\u2019s complexion resembles a dark cloud during the monsoon season, and just as the rainfall glistens, His bodily features appear to sparkle. The Lord\u2019s exquisitely lovely face is adorned with eyes like lotus petals; a beautiful, highly raised nose; and an enchanting smile that captivates the mind of the beholder. The Lord\u2019s black hair is curly and the superexcellent beauty of His face becomes enhanced by His sidelong glances. The Lord\u2019s garments, which wave in the wind, as well as His glittering earrings, shining helmet, bangles, garland, ankle-bells, the sash around His waist, and other bodily ornaments, combine to increase His natural beauty.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u201cThe Lord\u2019s shoulders are broad like a lion\u2019s, and upon His chest hangs the Kaustubha-mani. The glittering curls of golden hair upon the Lord\u2019s chest, called Shrivatsa, excels the beauty of the golden streaks that are found on the black stone that is used for testing the quality of gold. The Lord\u2019s abdomen is very beautiful due to it\u2019s three ripples of flesh, and because it is so round, it resembles the leaf of a banyan tree. When He inhales and exhales, the movement of those ripples appears fascinatingly beautiful. The folds within the Lord\u2019s navel are so deep, that it seems as if the entire universe had sprouted out of it and also wishes to return there. The Lord\u2019s hips are covered by a sash that is decorated with golden embroidery. His symmetrical lotus feet, calves, thighs, and knees are also extremely beautiful, and thus His entire body appears to be very well built.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
