TRANSLATION
“‘‘All men and women were accustomed to enjoying the beauty of the
shining face of Lord Krsna, as well as His sharklike earrings swinging on His
ears. His beautiful features, His cheeks and His playful smiles all combined to
form a constant festival for the eyes, and the blinking of the eyes became
obstacles that impeded one from seeing that beauty. For this reason, men and
women became very angry at the creator [Lord Brahma.’
