“Kṛṣṇa’s yellow dress looks exactly like restless lightning in the sky, and the pearl necklace on His neck appears like a line of ducks flying below a cloud. Both the peacock feather on His head and His vaijayantī garland [containing flowers of five colors] resemble rainbows.

লীলামৃত-বরিষণে,                      সিঞ্চে চৌদ্ধ ভুবনে, 
                                                       হেন মেঘ যবে দেখা দিল ।

  মরে চাতক, পিতে না পাইল ॥ ৬৮ ॥
