Aaskara Charitam. Vol III Book VII Chp 17 Shlokas 18 - 25

तद्भक्तिवशमापन्नो व्रजराजशिखामणिः |

राधासमेतः श्रीकृष्णः कृपया दर्शनं ददौ ||

नवनीरदसङ्काशो नटवेषधरो हरिः |

पीतकौशेयवसनो वनमालाविभूषितः ||

शिञ्चानमणिमञ्जीरः पङ्कजायतलोचनः |

रमणीयमुखाम्भोजो राधिकावल्लभः प्रभुः ||

क्रीडन् राधिकया सार्धं वादयन् मुरलीं मधु |

रम्ये कलिन्दजातीरे वसन्तसमयोज्ज्वले ||

संसिक्तदिव्यवसनो मुग्धो रेचकलीलया |

साक्षादुपस्थितो देवो भक्तस्य पृथिवीपतेः ||

एवं श्रीनाथदेवस्य वसन्तोत्सवकेलिकाम् |

विलोक्य भूपतिः सोपि बभूव प्रेममूर्च्छितः ||

दरिद्रो वा नरेन्द्रो वा चण्डालो ब्राह्मणोपि वा |

नास्ति भेदो भगवतो भक्त्या तुष्यति केवलम् ||

सुप्रसन्नः सदा देवो भक्तानुग्रहकातरः |

कटिन्यस्तकरो भूत्वा तिष्ठति श्यामसुन्दरः ||

Attracted by his devotion, Shri Krishna, the leader of the Gokulam, appeared before him accompanied by Devi Radha. Shri Radhakrishna appeared before the king thus: He was having the complexion of the rain-bearing cloud; He was dressed fully like an actor. He was wearing tinkling anklets; His countenance was exquisite with long, lotus-eyes. He was playing melodiously on the flute; His dress was wet due to the water sports he engaged in with Devi Radha as it was usual on the banks of the Yamuna during the spring season. He appeared as a rasika of such sports. Enjoying the beauty and such sports of Shrinatha, the king fainted due to loving devotion. Shri Bhagavan does not discriminate between the poor and the wealthy king of the low-born and the brahmana. He is pleased only with Bhakti. Shyamasundara, who is always ready to bless the bhaktas, stands with His hands on His hips in joyful alertness.

Thus ends Chapter Seventeen entitled ‘Aaskara Charitam’ of Book VII of Shri Vaishnava Samhita composed by Shri Shri Krishna Premi Swamigal.
