Akrūra’s Journey to Vraja and His Devotional Vision of Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma

Akrūra then saw Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma in Vraja, going to milk the cows. Kṛṣṇa wore yellow garments and Balarāma blue, and Their eyes were like autumn lotuses. Those two mighty-armed youths, the abode of Śrī, were dark-blue and white in complexion, most beautiful of all, moving with the gait of strong young elephants. With compassionate, smiling glances They beautified the pasture with the impressions of Their feet, marked with the flag, thunderbolt, elephant goad and lotus. Their pastimes were noble and enchanting; adorned with necklaces and forest garlands, anointed with auspicious fragrance, freshly bathed and clothed in spotless raiment. They were the primeval Supreme Persons, the cause and lords of the universes, descended for the earth’s welfare as Keśava and Bala. O King Parīkṣit, by Their own effulgence They dispelled darkness in every direction, like two gold-adorned mountains—one emerald and one silver.
