2Anūpama nīlo tanu sarakāra.

3kou kaha indranīla maṇi sama kou, nīla jalada anuhāra.

4kou kaha nīla kamala sama nīlo, tanu chhavi nanda kumāra.

5ina tīnoṁ kā pṛithaka pṛithaka hai, guṇa budha karahu vichāra.

6yāte ina tīnoṁ ke guṇa kā, mishraṇa karū taiyāra.

7puni usameṁ mishraṇa karu chinmaya, prema sudhā rasasāra.

8kaha ‘Kṛipālu’ tanu upamā asa jasa, tanu vṛishabhānu dulāra.

9The blue-comlexioned Divine form of Nandanandana is beyond

10description. However, rasika saints have used the examples of a sapphire,

11a rain-laden cloud, and blue lotus to give some idea of His incomparable

12beauty. The sapphire, cloud and lotus each have different individual

13qualities. A sapphire is smooth, glittering and blue in colour. A cloud is

14calm, cool, mellow and also blue in colour. The blue lotus is soft,

15refreshing and fragrant. All the qualities of these three combined together

16and mingled with the sweet nectar of Divine Love can to some extent

17give an idea of the blue-complexioned Divine form of Shyāmasundara.

18According to the saint poet Kṛipālu the transcendental Divine form of

19Shrī Kṛishṇa can actually be compared only to the Divine form of

20Shrī Rādhā.
