When am I going to see the beautiful form of the child Krishna, which enchants the whole world, with dark eyebrows slightly bent with thick and heavy eyelashes, his eyes full of mercy and moving, his speech gentle and comforting, his lips red oozing nectar through his sweet playing of the flute ?

It is truly hard to find, the childhood, the lotus-like face, the mercy, the playful eyes, the beauty, the brilliant smile, in other divine forms.
Leelasuka says that no other form of deity has all these qualities, like

We perceive the firm resolve only to remove all the obstacles in the world for those whose hearts are blossomed with devotion and melt, seeing his glorious form appearing fresh every moment, in the youthful for m of Krishna at every step wherever we proceed.

Who is this who enters the street of Madhura slowly? His crown is decorated by peacock feather. His body is beautiful like a pillar of emerald. His face is sweet-looking with wonderful joyous smile. His eyes are moving here and there. His speech is of cool youthfulness. His gait resembles that of an elephant in rut.

Is this lustrous form really a child? His feet, attended by Lakshmi, have conquered the crowd of lotuses by their fractional glory. His hands fond of playing the flute, appear to demonstrate the natyamudras. His arms create desire to the deer-eyed damsels. His words shower nectar. His face excels his speech in _expression_. It is a wonder indeed.

It is a wonder that the peacock feather alone is his favourite ornament and all the other decorations to him are superfluous. It is a wonder that his face sending out the waves of splendour by two or three special aspects along with his charming lips. Thus his form , a personification of love that cannot be perceived by those with mean mentality is a wonder indeed. Thus his form shines amazingly with various wonderful attributes.
Leelasuka could not contain his amazement is seeing the form of
Here the mind recalls the sloka of Desika in Yadhavabhyaudhaya, where he says that when the Lord appeared in front of the devas who prayed Him to relieve the earth from the burden of the wicked, his own limbs were so beautiful that the ornaments on His body seemed to be decorated by Him and not vice versa.'angaiH amithasoundharyaiH anukampithabhaashanam.'

Leelasuka sees
The Lord appeared in the heart of Narada in his previous birth when he was meditating but when he started njoying the peresence the form disappeared. When he became desolate, he heard the divine voice of the Lord saying, `sakrth yath dharSitham roopam ethath kaamaaya the anagha;mathkaamaH SanakaiH saaDhuh sarvaan muncChathi hrthChayaan.'(srimad.Bhagavatham-1-6-23)
The above sloka means that the Lord showed His form in order to make the desire grow towards Him and a devotee who thus yerns for the darsan of the Lord, gives up all his worldly desires and becaomes pure and then he can enjoy the presence of the Lord forever when the Lord, bound by the shakles of bhakthi could not escape the clasp of the devotee as Nammazvar says, `unnai naan piditthEn chikkenavE' and asks the Lord `inienguppoginradhE,' and tells Him `unnai naan adaindhen viduvEnO.' These lines means that Azvar has clasped the Lord through his devotion and He cannot escape .
