Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami
From the book “Sri Vraja-maṇḍala-parikramā”:
Śrī Kṛṣṇa and His sakhās used this path to go cow herding and to return home. At this time, Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa, unseen by all others, would meet with each other. The following verse by Śrī Śāradākāra found in Śrī Padyāvalī reveals the beauty of Śrī Kṛṣṇa when going cow herding:
phullendīvara-kāntim indu-vadanaṁ barhāvataṁsa-priyaṁ
śrī-vatsāṅkam udāra-kaustubha-dharaṁ pītāmbaraṁ sundaram
gopīnāṁ nayanotpalārcita-tanuṁ go-gopa-saṅghāvṛtaṁ
govindaṁ kala-veṇu-vādana-paraṁ divyāṅga-bhūṣaṁ bhaje
śrī-vatsāṅkam udāra-kaustubha-dharaṁ pītāmbaraṁ sundaram
gopīnāṁ nayanotpalārcita-tanuṁ go-gopa-saṅghāvṛtaṁ
govindaṁ kala-veṇu-vādana-paraṁ divyāṅga-bhūṣaṁ bhaje
“I worship Govinda, whose complexion is the colour of a blossoming blue lotus, whose face is like the moon, who is fond of wearing a peacock feather in His crown, whose chest bears the mark of Śrīvatsa and is adorned with the Kaustubha gem, who is attired in beautiful yellow garments, whose handsome form the gopīs worship with sidelong glances, whose companions are multitudes of cows and gopas, who plays sweet melodies on the flute, and whose body is decorated with glittering ornaments.”
