TRANSLATION

His loins are covered by a shining cloth, yellowish like the filaments of
a lotus. On His breast He bears the mark of Srivatsa, a curl of white hair.
The brilliant Kaustubha gem is suspended from His neck.

PURPORT

The exact color of the garment of the Supreme Lord is described as
saffron-yellow, just like the pollen of a lotus flower. The Kaustubha gem
hanging on His chest is also described. His neck is beautifully decorated
with jewels and pearls. The Lord is full in six opulences, one of which is
wealth. He is very richly dressed with valuable jewels which are not visible
within this material world.
