With their eyes they always drink the nectar of the face of Lord Krsna, which is the
essence of loveliness and is not to be equaled or surpassed. That loveliness is the
only abode of beauty, fame and opulence. It is self-perfect, ever fresh and extremely
rare.”
PURPORT

Mathura when they saw Krsna and Balarama in the arena with King Kamsa’s great
wrestlers Mustika and Canara.
