(Caitanya-candrāmṛta: 13; cited in Bhāvanā-sāra-saṅgraha: 1.2)
“Bearing the torso of a lion, a sweet, sweet smile between the sides of his cheeks, various astonishing and incomprehensible transformations of ujjvala-rasa, and luster delightful like the interior of an open golden lotus, may the figure of Mādhava united with Rādhā protect us.”
