There, Lord Krishna, the beloved young son of Nandagopa, fond of fresh butter, the bewitchingly handsome king of children gave darshan to Shri Vallabha. He had the complexion of fresh rain-bearing clouds and bright dark curls of hair beautifying His face. He had applied kajal to His beautiful eyes. He was adorned with various ornaments like a necklace with a tiger-claw pendant and a jewel of small tinkling bells. He was a digambara. He appeared as the most loving child seated in a cradle with a number of toys around Him. Shri Vallabha's eyes dazzled with untold happiness at the darshan of this form of Shri Krishna. As a result, his devotion got further strengthened with the blending of material love for Shri Krishna. One who reads or listens to the life story of Shri Vallabha attains unflinching devotion to the holy feet of Shrinatha.
