Translation
An example of longing for the Lord is given in Kṛṣṇa-karṇāmṛta (54): I long to see that young Kṛṣṇa who enchants the universe with His bent, black eye brows, with His thick eye lashes, with His attractive, shifty eyes, with His soft words which melt the heart, with his sweet, red lips, and with the intoxicating sound emanating from the clear notes of His flute.
Purport (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
“My eyes long for the form of Kṛṣṇa which enchants the universe.” This expresses his desire to see the Lord. How does that Lord look? He has two dark eyebrows, slightly curved. What else? His eyelashes are beautiful with densely growing, strong hairs. His sweet lips are intensely red. The clear sounds emanating from His flute are intoxicating.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
This intense eagerness is very nicely expressed by Bilvamaṅgala Ṭhākura in his book Kṛṣṇa-karṇāmṛta. He says, “I am eagerly waiting to see that boy of Vṛndāvana whose bodily beauty is captivating the whole universe, whose eyes are always bounded by black eyebrows and expanded like lotus petals, and who is always eagerly glancing over His devotees and therefore moving slightly here and there. His eyes are always moist, His lips are colored like copper, and through those lips there comes a sound vibration which drives one madder than a mad elephant. I want so much to see Him at Vṛndāvana!”
