Chaapalya sima chapalaanubhavaika sima no
Chaturya sima chaturaanana silpa sima
Sourabhya sima saklaadhbuta keli sima
Soubhagya sima thadidam vraja bhagya sima!
So long Leela Shuka had wonderful visions of his Krishna in different forms and longed very much for the presence of the Lord before his eyes. How long can he suffer the pangs of separation? He has described the glorious attributes of Krishna in his inimitable slokas. Time now is opportune for the presence of the Lord before the poet! How does the Lord appear before him? Krishna appears before the poet in dark black color but radiating Divine glow! He captivates all by His beautiful moving looks! His full moon face is capable of making all others happy. His Divine music from the flute is the very source of His leelaas or sport! It is such Krishna that stands before him!
Leela Shuka is not satisfied with the earlier description of the Lord! He wants to reveal some more attributes and qualities of Krishna. Krishna is the last word for all the mischiefs in Vrajasima! He is the Lord who has the luxury of enjoying the company of Goddess Lakshmi! He is also the master of retort and repartee! Krishna is also incomparable and the last word for the creation of Brahma, the Creator God! Krishna is the repository for all sweet, fragrant perfumes! He is the source of all amazing leelaas and His beauty is incomparable! Krishna is the fortune for all the dwellers of Vrajasima or the village of Gopas and Gopikaas! The poet is besides himself with indescribable bliss and says that such entity Krishna stands before him!
Krishna became notorious for His mischief during His stay in Gokulam! He, fist and foremost, even as a child, killed the demon Putana sent by Kamsa. When she tried to feed the child with her milk, Krishna, silently, wiped out her life! Yasoda and all others were horrified at the real person of the demon. Krishna's mischiefs in the homes of Gopikas are invaluable and indescribable! He would steal milk and butter from their homes along with his gang, equally mischievous! He would appear so gentle and innocent that none disliked Him! The Bhagavatha purana describes the leelas of child Krishna in detail. Krishna allowed Himself to be tied sympathizing with his mother Yasoda! He showed His mother the rarest of rare visions -Viswarupa in his small Divine mouth!
There can be none who resides with greater luxury than Lord Vishnu. Vaikunta is the last word for Supreme luxury and prosperity. It is there the Lord resides with His Spouse Goddess Lakahmi in total bliss! Brahma, the Creator is an adept in creating the universe and all creatures, mobile and Immobile! But Krishna is capable of creating better than the Creator Brahma Himself! Krishna mesmerized every one by his astonished leelas! Various Asuras like Baka, Thrunavartha and Sakataasura were despatched to Yamaloka in a trice! People in Gokulam were amazed at the Divine attributes of child Krishna. Krishna is Sringara Swarupa'. Everything about Him is romantic and sweet! It cannot be otherwise.
Among the astounding leelaas of the Lord are the breaking of the two trees out of which came the two Gandharvas called Nalakubara and Manigriva! They had relief from the curse through child Krishna! There was a terrible snake, Kaliya by name in the river Yamuna. Those who drank the waters of the river were poisoned to death! Young Krishna decided to solve the problem. He jumped into the river, climbed on to the head of the terrible snake, danced on its different heads and destroyed its arrogance! Kaliya's wives appealed to Krishna to save him and accordingly Krishna ordered Kaliya to leave the river and go elsewhere! Yasoda, Gopas and Gopikas, were relieved at the safety of young Krishna! Another astonishing Leela of young Krishna was the “Rasa Leela” where he took various forms and danced with every Gopika at the same time! Krishna’s life is replete with many astounding miracles and leelas!
