The Exposition of the Krishna Mantra (Kṛṣṇa-mantra-prakāśa): Nyāsa, Dhyāna, Worship, Yantra, and Prayoga
समुद्धूसरोरस्थले धेनुधूल्या सुपुष्टांगमष्टापदाकल्पदीप्तम् । कटीलस्थले चारुजंघान्तयुग्मं पिनद्धं क्वणत्किंकिणीजालदाम्ना ॥ ७८ ॥
samuddhūsarorasthale dhenudhūlyā supuṣṭāṃgamaṣṭāpadākalpadīptam | kaṭīlasthale cārujaṃghāntayugmaṃ pinaddhaṃ kvaṇatkiṃkiṇījāladāmnā || 78 ||
Sa poitrine était légèrement poudrée de la fine poussière soulevée par les vaches; son corps bien nourri resplendissait comme de l’or affiné. Autour de sa taille, la belle paire de jambes inférieures était ceinte d’une ceinture en résille de petites clochettes, qui tintaient avec douceur.
Narada (describing an auspicious divine form within a technical/iconographic passage)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti (devotion)
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta (wonder)
It presents a dhyāna-style visualization: sacred cow-dust and luminous, orderly ornaments signify purity, auspiciousness, and a mind trained to contemplate divinity through precise marks (lakṣaṇa).
By describing tangible, auspicious features (radiance, adornment, gentle sound), it supports bhakti through focused remembrance (smaraṇa) and inner visualization, turning sensory imagery into devotional concentration.
The verse aligns with technical lakṣaṇa/śilpa-style description—systematic observation of form and attributes used for dhyāna and correct representation, a practical tool adjacent to Vedāṅga-oriented disciplines in the Third Pāda.
