### CC Adi 17.302

> তিহঁ শ্যাম, — বংশীমুখ, গোপবিলাসী ।\
> ইহঁ গৌর — কভু দ্বিজ, কভু ত’ সন্ন্যাসী ॥৩০২॥

> tihaṅ śyāma,—vaṁśī-mukha, gopa-vilāsī\
> ihaṅ gaura—kabhu dvija, kabhu ta' sannyāsī

*tihaṅ*—in the *kṛṣṇa-līlā*; *śyāma*—blackish color; *vaṁśī-mukha*—a flute in the mouth; *gopa-vilāsī*—an enjoyer as a cowherd boy; *ihaṅ*—now; *gaura*—fair complexion; *kabhu*—sometimes; *dvija*—*brāhmaṇa*; *kabhu*—sometimes; *ta'*—certainly; *sannyāsī*—in the renounced order of life.

**In kṛṣṇa-lilā the Lord's complexion is blackish. A flute in His mouth, He enjoys as a cowherd boy. Now the selfsame person has appeared with a fair complexion, sometimes acting as a brāhmaṇa and sometimes accepting the renounced order of life.**
