TRANSLATION

The Lord is superexcellently beautiful on account of His open and
merciful smile and His sidelong glance upon His devotees. His black hair is
curly, and His garments, waving in the wind, appear as flying saffron pollen
from lotus flowers. His glittering earrings, shining helmet, bangles, garland,
ankle bells, waist belt and various other bodily ornaments combine with
conchshell, disc, club and lotus flower to increase the natural beauty of
the Kaustubha pearl on His chest.

PURPORT

The word prahasitapanga, referring to Krsna’s smile and sidelong glances
at His devotees, specifically applies to His dealings with the gopis. Krsna is
always in a joking mood when He increases the feelings of conjugal rasa in
the hearts of the gopis. The conchshell, club, disc and lotus flower can be
either held in His hands or seen on the palms of His hands. According to
palmistry, the signs of a conchshell, club, lotus flower and disc mark the
palms of great personalities and especially indicate the Supreme Personality
of Godhead.
