<a id="line-2"></a>Anūpama nīlo tanu sarakāra.  
<a id="line-3"></a>kou kaha indranīla maṇi sama kou, nīla jalada anuhāra.  
<a id="line-4"></a>kou kaha nīla kamala sama nīlo, tanu chhavi nanda kumāra.  
<a id="line-5"></a>ina tīnoṁ kā pṛithaka pṛithaka hai, guṇa budha karahu vichāra.  
<a id="line-6"></a>yāte ina tīnoṁ ke guṇa kā, mishraṇa karū taiyāra.  
<a id="line-7"></a>puni usameṁ mishraṇa karu chinmaya, prema sudhā rasasāra.  
<a id="line-8"></a>kaha ‘Kṛipālu’ tanu upamā asa jasa, tanu vṛishabhānu dulāra.

Published English meaning — Dr. Bageeshwari Devi

<a id="line-9"></a>The blue-comlexioned Divine form of Nandanandana is beyond  
<a id="line-10"></a>description. However, rasika saints have used the examples of a sapphire,  
<a id="line-11"></a>a rain-laden cloud, and blue lotus to give some idea of His incomparable  
<a id="line-12"></a>beauty. The sapphire, cloud and lotus each have different individual  
<a id="line-13"></a>qualities. A sapphire is smooth, glittering and blue in colour. A cloud is  
<a id="line-14"></a>calm, cool, mellow and also blue in colour. The blue lotus is soft,  
<a id="line-15"></a>refreshing and fragrant. All the qualities of these three combined together  
<a id="line-16"></a>and mingled with the sweet nectar of Divine Love can to some extent  
<a id="line-17"></a>give an idea of the blue-complexioned Divine form of Shyāmasundara.  
<a id="line-18"></a>According to the saint poet Kṛipālu the transcendental Divine form of  
<a id="line-19"></a>Shrī Kṛishṇa can actually be compared only to the Divine form of  
<a id="line-20"></a>Shrī Rādhā.
