Text 68] The Transcendental Madness of Lord Caitanya 285

TRANSLATION

“Krsna’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 vaijayanti garland [containing
flowers of five colors] resemble rainbows.
