One devotee described the personal beauty of Baladeva as follows:"Let me take shelter of the lotus feet of Balarāma, whose beauty is enhanced by the earrings touching His cheeks.

His face is decorated with Tilaka made from kastūrī [musk], and His broad chest is decorated with a garland of guñjā [small conchshells]. larama”.

His complexion is as white as an autumn

cloud, He wears garments of blue color,

and His voice is very grave.

His arms are very long, touching His thighs, and He has shown His great

strength by killing the Pralamba demon.

Let me take of this chivalrous Balaram”

Text Eight – Dasa-avatar Stotra

vahasi vapuñi viçade vasanaà jaladäbhaà hala-hati-bhéti-milita-yamunäbhamkeçava dhåta-haladhara-rüpa jaya jagadiça hare

TRANSLATIONO Keçava! O Lord of the universe! O Lord Hari, who have assumed the form of Balaräma, the wielder of the plow! All glories to You! On Your brilliant white body You wear garments the color of a fresh blue rain cloud. These garments are colored like the beautiful dark hue of the River Yamunä, who feels great fear due to the striking of Your plowshare.

Thank you Very much.Balarama

JayantiKi Jai!
