Wearing a peacock-feather ornament upon His head, blue karṇikÄra flowers on His ears, a yellow garment as brilliant as gold, and the VaijayantÄ« garland, Lord Kṛṣṇa exhibited His transcendental form as the greatest of dancers as He entered the forest of Vá¹›ndÄvana, beautifying it with the marks of His footprints. He filled the holes of His flute with the nectar of His lips, and the cowherd boys sang His glories.
The gopīs remembered all the transcendental qualities of Kṛṣṇa mentioned in this verse. Kṛṣṇa’s artful way of dressing and the beautiful blue flowers placed over His ears excited the gopīs’ romantic desires, and as He poured the nectar of His lips into His flute, they simply lost themselves in ecstatic love for Him.
