(Unknown source)“A vaṁśī poised before his moon face
[Which is] Replete with an incomparable smile,
His yellow cloth superb,
His eyes like lotuses,
Expert in all respects,
Resembling a fresh cloud,
His chaplet a peacock-plume,
The [supreme] protector,
His figure embowed with three bends
And surrounded by the young women of Vraja,
The hero by whom Keśī and so forth have been vanquished—
I worship the beautiful Son of Nanda,
The embodiment of madhura-rasa,
The reservoir of the foremost mādhurya.” - Read on →: barhāpīḍābhirāmaṁ mṛgamada-tilakaṁ kuṇḍalākrānta-gaṇḍaṁ

(Gautamīya Tantra: Gopāla-kavaca, 1)“Charming with a peacock-plume chaplet,
His tilaka [made of] musk,
His cheeks flanked by earrings,
His eyes like lotuses,
His throat like a conchshell,
His face lovely with a smile,
A veṇu fixed at his lips,
Swarthy,
Tranquil,
Thrice-bent,
His cloth like the rays of the sun,
[And] Decorated with a vaijayantī [i.e., a victory garland]—
I worship Brahman,
Situated in Vṛndāvana,
Surround by hundreds of young women,
In the garb of a cowherd.” - Read on →: saṁsāra-duḥkha-jaladhau patitasya kāma
