Krishna’s beauty and incomparable attraction is enjoyed by Swami Desikan in this verse. We should always enjoy the ever youthfulness and incomparable beauty of Krishna without winking the eyes. Even the momentary involuntary winking of the eye will make us loose his sight for that split second. The peacock feather and his curly hair adds beauty to him and attracts us. The thought of his mighty brilliant playful deeds and pranks at Gokulam and Vrundavanam makes us fall madly in love with him and overpowers our senses. May this Krishna filled with beauty and brightness be always be seen my mind.
