Text 43] The Lord’s Inconceivable Behavior 199

TRANSLATION

“Krsna’s bodily luster shines like the indranila gem and surpasses the luster
of the tamala tree. The luster of His body drives the entire world mad because
Providence has made it transparent by refining the essence of the mellow of
conjugal love and mixing it with moonshine.
