Lotus-eyed (CC and other books)
Sri Caitanya-caritamrta
CC Adi-lila
"Lord Caitanya is the shelter of the demigods, the goal of the Upaniṣads, the be-all and end-all of the great sages, the beautiful shelter of His devotees, and the essence of the love of the lotus-eyed gopīs. Will He again be the object of my vision?"
"The lotus-eyed Rādhārāṇī powerfully condemned the ecstatic love that caused a flow of tears that hindered Her sight of Govinda."
The Prapannāmṛta of the Śrī-sampradāya describes Nārāyaṇa as follows:
- tārkṣyādhirūḍhaṁ taḍid-ambudābhaṁ
- lakṣmī-dharaṁ vakṣasi paṅkajākṣam
- hasta-dvaye śobhita-śaṅkha-cakraṁ
- viṣṇuṁ dadṛśur bhagavantam ādyam
- ā-jānu-bāhuṁ kamanīya-gātraṁ
- pārśva-dvaye śobhita-bhūmi-nīlam
- pītāmbaraṁ bhūṣaṇa-bhūṣitāṅgaṁ
- catur-bhujaṁ candana-ruṣitāṅgam
"They saw the lotus-eyed Lord Viṣṇu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, mounted on Garuḍa and holding Lakṣmī, the goddess of fortune, to His chest. He resembled a bluish rain cloud with flashing lightning, and in two of His four hands He held a conchshell and disc. His arms stretched down to His knees, and all His beautiful limbs were smeared with sandalwood and decorated with glittering ornaments. He wore yellow clothes, and by either side stood His energies Bhūmi and Nīlā."
Since He is a limb or part of the lotus-eyed Supreme Lord, He also bears the name Kamalākṣa.
