Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 10, Ch. 3]
PURPORT
To support the word  adbhutam , meaning “wonderful,” the decorations and opulences of the newborn child are fully described. As confirmed in the  Brahma-saṁhitā  (5.30),  barhāvataṁsam asitāmbuda-sundarāṅgam : the hue of the Lord’s beautiful form resembles the blackish color of dense clouds ( asita  means “blackish,” and  ambuda  means “cloud”). It is clear from the word  catur-bhujam  that Kṛṣṇa first appeared with four hands, as Lord Viṣṇu. No ordinary child in human society has ever been born with four hands. And when is a child born with fully grown hair? The descent of the Lord, therefore, is completely distinct from the birth of an ordinary child. The Vaidūrya gem, which sometimes appears bluish, sometimes yellow and sometimes red, is available in Vaikuṇṭhaloka. The Lord’s helmet and earrings were decorated with this particular gem.
