ŚB 10.14.1

श्रीब्रह्मोवाच

नौमीड्य तेऽभ्रवपुषे तडिदम्बराय

गुञ्जावतंसपरिपिच्छलसन्मुखाय ।

वन्यस्रजे कवलवेत्रविषाणवेणु-

लक्ष्मश्रिये मृदुपदे पशुपाङ्गजाय ॥ १ ॥

śrī-brahmovāca

naumīḍya te ’bhra-vapuṣe taḍid-ambarāya

guñjāvataṁsa-paripiccha-lasan-mukhāya

vanya-sraje kavala-vetra-viṣāṇa-veṇu-

lakṣma-śriye mṛdu-pade paśupāṅgajāya

Translation

Lord Brahmā said: My dear Lord, You are the only worshipable Lord, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and therefore I offer my humble obeisances and prayers just to please You. O son of the king of the cowherds, Your transcendental body is dark blue like a new cloud, Your garment is brilliant like lightning, and the beauty of Your face is enhanced by Your guñjā earrings and the peacock feather on Your head. Wearing garlands of various forest flowers and leaves, and equipped with a herding stick, a buffalo horn and a flute, You stand beautifully with a morsel of food in Your hand.
