Transliteration

śrī-śuka uvāca taṁ vīkṣya kṛṣānucaraṁ vraja-striyaḥ pralamba-bāhuṁ nava-kañja-locanam pītāmbaraṁ puṣkara-mālinaṁ lasan- mukhāravindaṁ parimṛṣṭa-kuṇḍalam

Translation

Śukadeva disse: Ao verem o servo de Kṛṣṇa, as jovens de Vraja ficaram maravilhadas: ele tinha braços longos, olhos como um lótus recém-brotado, vestia o pītāmbara amarelo e uma guirlanda de lótus; e seu rosto, semelhante a um lótus, resplandecia com brincos bem polidos. “Quem é este homem tão belo? De onde veio e a quem serve? Ele usa as roupas e os ornamentos de Acyuta!” disseram. Assim, as gopīs, ansiosas, cercaram Uddhava, que se abrigava aos pés de lótus do Senhor Uttamaḥśloka, Śrī Kṛṣṇa.

FAQs

It refers to Uddhava, Kṛṣṇa’s close associate, who comes to Vraja as Kṛṣṇa’s messenger.

Because Uddhava resembled Kṛṣṇa’s own style—yellow garments and ornaments—stirring their intense remembrance and longing for Kṛṣṇa in separation.

Honoring and eagerly hearing from a sincere devotee—one sheltered at the Lord’s lotus feet—nourishes remembrance of God and deepens bhakti in daily life.
