Madhura madhara bimbe manjulam mandahaase
Sisira mamruta vaakye sitalam drushti pathe
Vipula maruna netre visrutam venu naade
Marakatha mani nilam baala maaloka yenu !
Krishna is totally lost in the blssful experience of his own Divine music from the flute! Leela Shuka considers the Lord as his close relative and wonders why Krishna is not responding to his request to save him. Yet He is praised as an ocean of compassion! The poet is desperate and is totally at a loss. He does not know when the Lord will hear his appeal!
“Krishna is the very embodiment of causeless compassion and love. He sports childhood during all difficult situations! His long and broad eyes are capable of seeing everything in the universe. Is Krishna contemplating whether I deserve His look. When will the Lord cast His glance on me” feels Leela Shuka!
Feeling dejected and disappointed at the casual attitude of Krishna, the poet cannot prevent himself from describing the glorious form of Krishna that presents itself before his mental vision. “ Am I perceiving the Lord in front of me?” Leela Shuka wonders. He describes the beautiful form of Krishna graphically. “Krishna’s lips (adharam) are red like the ' bimba' fruit! A sweet smile flits across those lips captivating the hearts of all in the universe! Krishna's words are delectable and cool like Amruta or nectar from heaven! Similarly, Krishna's looks are extremely cool even as they are slightly red! The music of His flute is wafting in the air! With all these attributes Bala Gopala stands before me in the black color of “Marakatha Mani” otherwise called as “ Indraneela” precious stone!”.
On account of Madanagopala mantra upadesa Leela Suka has attained a spiritual elevation! His meditation and total surrender unto the lotus feet of Krishna is highly commendable! It is because of this unwavering devotion that he is in a position to visualize the Divine form of Krishna in his mental vision! In every sloka of his Krishna Karnamruta we get a wonderful description of Krishna and His attributes. To the poet every aspect of the Lord is sweet and pleasant! His face, the smile, lips, radiance, body smeared fully with the Vermillion on the breasts of the Gopikas, the lotus feet that make fun of the real lotus and the exceptionally beautiful peacock feather on His head are picturesquely described by the poet! There is no doubt that Leela Shuka is in a position to drink deep the Divine Beauty and enjoy the rare bliss coming out of it! It is the rare privilege of a great and exceptional Bhaktha!
