Mathura Jana Samviksya
Obeisance 88 Verses 352 to 354
mathurā-jana-saṁvīkṣya rajakaṁśuka-yācaka
durmukhākṣepa-saṁkruddha raṅgakāra-śirohara
O Lord Krsna, the residents of Mathura became thus absorbed in seeing You. When You asked a washer man to give nice clothing to You, and he refused, speaking harsh and insulting words, You casually decapitated him (with Your hand).
nija-priyāmbara-dvandva-paridhāna-vibhūṣita
abhīṣṭa-vastra-saṁhṛṣṭa-rāma-gopāli-saṁyuta
O Lord Krsna, You then nicely dressed Your self in two nice garments selected from the washerman's collection, Lord Balarama and the cowherd boys also took what garments they wished and became jubilant.
prasīda vāyakonnīta-caileyākalpa-bhūṣita
nānā-lakṣaṇa-veśāḍhya he vāyaka-vara-prada
O Lord Krsna, please be merciful to me. When a devotee-tailor brought to You exquisite, ornate and colorful garments accompanied by ornaments, You donned those garments and appeared very beautiful and opulent. (Very pleased, You gave a great spiritual) benediction to that tailor.
