49. leelaananaambujam aDheeram udheekshamaaNam

      narmaaNi venuvivareshu nivesayantham

      dolaayamaananayanam nayanaabhiraamaam

       dhevam kadhaa nu dhayitham vyathilokayishye

 

When am I going to see and be seen by the beloved Lord, who is a delight to the eyes, whose eyes are like the lotus held  for play, dancing ,  with look that enchants,  with his flute emanating sounds that convey secret messages.

 

 

 The face of Krishna is described as leelaananaambuja, his lotus-like face is full of playfulness, like the lotus held in the hand of Lakshmi. His glances, udheekshaNa, are aDheera, make one lose his mental poise making him aDheera, weak. Not only that. His eyes are dancing  moving like a swing, dholaayamaana. And He is a delight to the eyes, nayanaabhiraama.

 

He is inserting secret messages into the holes of His flute, narmaaNi veNuvivareshu nivesayantham, as into a mailbox and delivering them through His music that ats like a postman! Conveying messages through the music of the flute has also been mentioned by Desika in his Gopalavimsati. He says,

 

 

vamsenakrishnah prathisambabhaashe varthaaharaan vaamadhrsaan kataakshaan

 

 

 The gopis were talking to him with their beautiful glances, vaarthaaharaan vaamadrsaan kataakshaan to which Krishna answered with his flute, vamsena krishnah prathisambabhaashe.

 

 

50. lagnam muhurmanasi lampatasampradhaaya

     lekhaavalehini rasajnamanojnavesham

     rajyanmrdhusmithamrdhoollasithaaDharaamSu

    rakendhulaalitha mukhendhu mukundhabaalyam  

 

The     face of young Mukunda   appears frequently in my mind, the form which is like a traditional painting  portrayed by desire and  delightful to the rasikas of beauty, the soft rays of  smile on   His lower lip, His moon-like face which is dear even to the full moon.

 

To a devotee the face of the Lord appears now and again in the mind, lagnam muhurmanasi as always painted by the desire to see Him and it is traditional lampatasampradhaaya as Periazvar says, endhai thandhai thandhai thandhai tham mootthappan Ezpadikaal thodangi,'  meaning that we are your devotees for several generatons.

The form of the Lord is delightful to whom? Only to a rasajna, who is filled with the rasanubhava  of the divine, rasajnamanojnavesham. The smile on His lower-lip sends out the rays of  sweetness like that of the moon and even the full moon is seen to extol, raakendhulaalithamukhendhu the moon-like face of the Lord.
