The decorations of the middle kaumāra period are a pearl at the tip of His nose, butter in His hand, and bells around His waist.

Kṛṣṇa’s ornaments at this age are a pearl hanging from the septum of His nose, butter on His lotuslike palms, and some small bells hanging from His waist.

Commentary

Kṛṣṇa holds butter in His hand occasionally, not all the time. Because it produces a splendor, it is included with the ornaments.
