Rāsa-līlā Dialogue
तासामाविरभूच्छौरि: स्मयमानमुखाम्बुज: । पीताम्बरधर: स्रग्वी साक्षान्मन्मथमन्मथ: ॥ २ ॥

அப்போது சௌரி ஸ்ரீகிருஷ்ணன், புன்னகை பொலியும் தாமரை முகத்துடன், மஞ்சள் ஆடை அணிந்து, மாலை சூடி, கோபியர்முன் தோன்றினார்—காமதேவனையும் மயக்கும் மயக்கன் போல.
This verse describes Kṛṣṇa appearing with a smiling lotus face, yellow garments, and a garland—so captivating that He is called the enchanter of even Cupid.
In the flow of the rāsa-līlā narrative, Kṛṣṇa reveals Himself to the gopīs to intensify and reciprocate their devotion, drawing their hearts fully toward Him.
It points the mind toward a higher attraction: cultivating remembrance of Kṛṣṇa helps redirect worldly desires into devotion and inner steadiness.
