the quintessence of sublime beauty

[Ananthanarayanan Vaidyanathan]

तत्ते प्रत्यग्रधाराधरालळितकळायावलीकेळिकारं

लावण्यस्यैकसारं सुकृतिजनदृशां पूर्णपुण्यावतारं।

लक्ष्मीनिश्शङ्कलीलानिलयनममृतस्यन्दसन्दोहमन्तः

सिञ्चत् सञ्चितकानाम् वपुरनुकलये मारुतागारनाथ॥६॥

श्रीमन्नारयणीये दशकं ॥१॥

tatte pratyagradhārādharālaḻitakaḻāyāvalīkeḻikāraṁ

lāvaṇyasyaikasāraṁ sukṛtijanadṛśāṁ pūrṇapuṇyāvatāraṁ|

lakṣmīniśśaṅkalīlānilayanamamṛtasyandasandohamantaḥ

Oh lord of the abode of the wind, Guruvayurappa,  I am contemplating without interruption on your glorious form which manifests the appearance of a very dark cloud laden with raindrops and the dark-blue colour  of  kalaya (in Malayalam  Kaayaamboo flower...a blue flower growing in a tropical plant),  which bears the quintessence of sublime beauty (lavanyam),  which is embodiment of the fortune for the eyes of  the most fortunate devotees,  which is the frequent rendezvous for the Goddess of wealth, Lakshmi , your consort, and which is the source for the ambrosia that flows in the devout hearts of the lucky humans who always contemplate on your glories.

The poet is groping for words to describe the sublime beauty of  the  formless god who has assumed a form as the dark youth, Krishna.

let all my relatives abandon me, let the great people insult me, still I am in supreme bliss since my life  is GOVINDA alone.
