कस्तूरीतिलकं ललाटपटले वक्षःस्थले कौस्तुभं
नासाग्रे नवमौक्तिकं करतले वेणुं करे कङ्कणम् ।
सर्वाङ्गे हरिचन्दनं सुललितं कण्ठे च मुक्तावलिं
गोपस्त्री परिवेष्टितो विजयते गोपाल चूडामणिः ॥ Sri Krishna karnamrutam
Kasturi tilakam lalata phalake vakshasthale kaustubham
Nasagre navamauktikam karatale venum kare kankanam |
Sarvange haricandanam kalayan kantheca muktavali

O Sri Krishna ! The Kasturi (Musk) Tilak, a red ritual mark decorates your forehead and the Kaustubha jewel ornaments your chest. The Nava mouktika, a pearl ornament on your nose, your fingertips graced by a flute, while your wrist is ornamented with a bracelet. O Sri Hari! Your entire body is bedecked with fragrant sandalwood paste, your neck has a beautiful garland. You gave Mukti (salvation) to the Gopis (lady-cowherds) who followed you. Victory be to that Lord who proved to be the choodamani (crest jewel)  for even a commoner like a cowherd.

कृष्ण त्वदीयपदपङ्कजपञ्जरान्तंअद्यैव मे विशतु मानसराजहंसः ।

Oh! Krishna! Like the royal swan repairing into its nest ,may my mind resort to your lotus feet now itself.
When the soul is ready to depart, And when bile air and phlegm, Choke my throat,
How will I ever remember your holy name? - Kulasekara alwar

Vasudeva saw that wonder child with four hands, holding a conch, a mace, a chakra (discus) and a lotus; with Srivatsa emblem on his chest; with Kaustubha gem on the neck; with cloth of golden hue, as beautiful as the blue water-filled cloud; with dense hair flowing around amidst the adornments of crown and ear-rings radiant with precious gems; and excellently brilliant with bracelets around the hip and arms.

Yan muhurtham kshanam vaapi vaasudevo na chintayet I

Saa haanih mahat chidram saa bhraantih saa cha vikiyaa II

A satvic devotee , if he happens to forget to think of Sri Krishna even for a moment , he considers that as a great loss, a signal for impending distress, as a sign of madness, and change of good times.
