About this item
Eager to fulfill His friends' desires, Krishna is the moon arisen from the womb of mother Yasoda. At this point the gopis climb into the watchtowers of Vrindavan's houses so they can see Krishna as soon as possible when He returns home. Mother Yasoda is very anxious for her son to come back, and therefore she has the tallest of the beautiful young gopis climb up to see when He will arrive.
As Krishna respectfully greets His well-wishing friends, His eyes roll slightly as if from intoxication. He wears a flower garland, and the beauty of His soft cheeks is accentuated by the brilliance of His golden earrings and the whiteness of his face, which has the color of a berry. With His cheerful face resembling the moon, the lord of the night, the Lord of the Yadus moves with the grace of a regal elephant. Thus Krishna returns in the evening, delivering the cows of Vraja from the heat of the day.
