Please type the Slok in Sanskrit language because you cannot correctly read

With respect to learned  Bhaktas.

>Obeisances to Lord MÄ?dhava, enemy of the Madhu demon. His beautiful form,

>This is a picturesque view of KṣīrodakaÅ?Ä?yÄ« VisÌ£nÌ£u, the expansion 
>of Lord KrÌ£sÌ£nÌ£a who inhabits the spiritual planet Å?vetadvÄ«pa. In the 
>Å?rÄ«mad-BhÄ?gavatam (3.8.24) Å?rÄ«la VyÄ?sadeva also describes the beauty 
>of Lord VisÌ£nÌ£u as He lies in yoga-nidrÄ?:
>
>The luster of the transcendental body of the Lord mocked the beauty of the 
>coral mountain. The coral mountain is very beautifully dressed by the 
>evening sky, but the yellow dress of the Lord mocked its beauty. There is 
>gold in the summit of the mountain, but the Lord's helmet, bedecked with 
>jewels, mocked it. The mountain's waterfalls, herbs, etc., with a panorama 
>of flowers, seem like garlands, but the Lord's gigantic body, and His hands 
>and legs, decorated with jewels, pearls, tulasī leaves, and flower 
>garlands, mocked the scene on the mountain.
>
>King KulaÅ?ekhara describes Lord VisÌ£nÌ£u as the killer of Madhu. Although 
>in the form of KṣīrodakaÅ?Ä?yÄ« VisÌ£nÌ£u the Lord did not kill Madhu, 
>there is no contradiction in addressing the Supreme Lord by any of His 
>pastime names. As Å?rÄ«la KrÌ£sÌ£nÌ£adÄ?sa KavirÄ?ja points out in his 
>Caitanya-caritÄ?mrÌ£ta (Ä?di 5.128-130, 132),
>
>There is no difference between the incarnation and the source of all 
>incarnations. Previously Lord Kṛṣṇa was regarded in the light of 
>different principles by different people. Some said that Kṛṣṇa was 
>directly Lord Nara-NÄ?rÄ?yanÌ£a, and some called Him Lord VÄ?manadeva 
>incarnate. Some called Lord Kṛṣṇa an incarnation of Lord 
>KṣīrodakaÅ?Ä?yÄ«. All these names are true.... In whatever form one 
>knows the Lord, one speaks of Him in that way. In this there is no falsity, 
>since everything is possible in Kṛṣṇa.
>
>The KṣīrodakaÅ?Ä?yÄ« form of Lord VisÌ£nÌ£u is very rarely seen, even by 
>advanced devotees. Sometimes when there is a crisis in universal 
>management, Lord BrahmÄ? goes to Å?vetadvÄ«pa to consult with 
>KṣīrodakaÅ?Ä?yÄ« VisÌ£nÌ£u. BrahmÄ? sits on the bank of the milk ocean 
>and chants the Puruṣa-sūkta prayers. In meditation, he then hears 
>instructions from the Lord.
>
>The shower of spray from the milk ocean speckling the Lord's form mocks the 
>impersonal conception of the Absolute Truth. The source of all incarnations 
>is not an impersonal effulgence but the transcendental Lord Himself, the 
>Supreme Person. King KulaÅ?ekhara does not manufacture images but strictly 
>follows the Vedic descriptions of the Lord of Å?vetadvÄ«pa.
