Then, from a distance, I saw 笔耻谤耻峁迟迟补尘补-deva, who bestows joy upon everyone. His moon-like face was beautified by wide lotus eyes, and a tilaka made of jewels shone on His forehead, His complexion resembled a resplendent raincloud, and His reddish lips were luminescent. His gentle smile, radiant like moonshine, enhanced the exquisiteness of His countenance and showered unlimited mercy on everyone.
Commentary: Dig-dar艣in墨-峁玨膩 with Bh膩v膩nuv膩da
(By 艢谤墨la San膩tana Gosv膩m墨 himself including a deep purport of that commentary)
艢谤墨 Gopa-办耻尘腻谤补 says, 鈥淭hen, from a far distance, I saw the moon-like countenance of 艢谤墨 笔耻谤耻峁迟迟补尘补-deva, the bestower of happiness to all. Two large, bright eyes were resplendent on His lovely, enchanting face; an enchanting tilaka of jewels sparkled on His forehead; His complexion was like the glow of fresh rainclouds; and His reddish lips resembled fully-blossomed 产腻苍诲丑耻濒墨 flowers. Those lips, which beautified His exquisite face with a moon-like, radiant smile, were showering the honey of His mercy on everyone.鈥� This was 艢谤墨 Gopa-办耻尘腻谤补鈥檚 first vision of the moon-like face of 闯补驳补苍苍腻迟丑补, which he saw from afar. For this reason, he describes the beauty of His eyes and so on in this manner.
