"Oh, come on, come on. Come very quickly. Why you are wasting your time in your house? Come on with me. Oh, see how Krishna looks."
Cuta-pravala-barha-stabakotpalabja, malanuprkta-paridhana-vicitra-vesau. Krishna is decorated with very new leaves of mango, and other leaves of reddish color. This reddish color represents anuraga. Anuraga means love and affection. Pravala-barha. He has taken very beautiful peacock feathers on His head. Utpala means kamala, lotus flowers.
Malanuprkta-paridhana-vicitra-vesau. Krishna has so many decorations, of flowers and peacock feathers. You can see more than seven colors in the peacocks' feathers, and His peacock feathers are more beautiful than those of the dancing peacocks. He is taking His flute and singing, and He is also in a position and mood of dancing. Seeing this, all the peacocks of the forest thought, "Oh, He is like a cloud, a new cloud full of water." As soon as they saw Krishna, they began to dance to the tune of His flute. They thought, "Oh, this vamsi-walla (player of the flute) is so very expert, and I can dance so well to His tune." They therefore gave Him a peacock feather as a gift. Krishna took it and [Srila Maharaja indicated how Krishna placed the peacock feather in His hair] He always keeps it on His head, as a donation from the peacocks.
