The Exposition of the Krishna Mantra (Kṛṣṇa-mantra-prakāśa): Nyāsa, Dhyāna, Worship, Yantra, and Prayoga
चलत्कुण्डलोल्लासिगंडस्थलश्रीभरं सुन्दरं मंदहासं सुनासम् । सुकार्तस्वराभांबरं दिव्यभूषं क्वणत्किंकिणीजालमत्तानुलेपम् ॥ ८४ ॥
calatkuṇḍalollāsigaṃḍasthalaśrībharaṃ sundaraṃ maṃdahāsaṃ sunāsam | sukārtasvarābhāṃbaraṃ divyabhūṣaṃ kvaṇatkiṃkiṇījālamattānulepam || 84 ||
Il était d’une beauté exquise : ses joues rayonnaient de l’éclat des boucles d’oreilles oscillantes; son sourire était doux et son nez bien dessiné. Ses vêtements brillaient comme l’or affiné; il portait des ornements divins; un réseau de grelots tintait, et il était oint d’un onguent exquis au parfum enivrant.
Narada (descriptive narration within the dialogue framework)

It guides dhyāna (contemplative visualization) by detailing auspicious divine features—radiance, gentle smile, sacred adornments—so the mind becomes steady, refined, and devotionally absorbed.
By focusing attention on the Lord’s charming, ornamented form and auspicious marks, the verse supports bhakti through loving remembrance (smaraṇa) and devotional meditation (dhyāna), turning aesthetic delight into worship.
The verse showcases precise Sanskrit composition and descriptive compounds (useful for Vyākaraṇa and Chandas sensitivity), helping reciters preserve correct pronunciation, meaning, and meditative visualization in ritual recitation.
