Akrura then saw Krishna and Balarama in the village of Vraja, going to milk
the cows. Krishna wore yellow garments, Balarama blue, and Their eyes resembled autumnal lotuses.
One of those two mighty-armed youths, the shelters of the goddess of fortune,
had a dark-blue complexion, and the other's was white. With Their fine-featured faces
They were the most beautiful of all persons. As they walked with the gait of young elephants,
glancing about with compassionate smiles, those two exalted personalities beautified the cow pasture
with impressions of Their fett, which bored the marks of the flag, lightning bolt,
elephant goad and lotus. The two Lords, whose pastimes are most magnanimous
and attractive, were ornamented with jeweled necklaces and flower garlands,
anointed with auspicious, fragrant substances, freshly bathed, and dressed in spotless raiment.
They were the primeval Supreme Personalities, the masters and original causes
of the universes, who had for the welfare of the earth now descended in Their
distinct forms of Keshava and Balarama. O King Parikshit, They resembled two
gold-bedecked mountains, one of emerald and the other of silver, as with Their
effulgence They dispelled the sky's darkness in all directions.
