The pink, transparent toenails on the Lord’s lotus feet are exactly like valuable gems polished to a mirror finish. When the unalloyed devotees and the leaders of the snakes offer their obeisances to Lord Saṅkarṣaṇa with great devotion, they become very joyful upon seeing their own beautiful faces reflected in His toenails. Their cheeks are decorated with glittering earrings, and the beauty of their faces is extremely pleasing to see.
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
The unalloyed devotees and the leaders of the snakes, offering their obeisances to Ananta with great devotion, joyfully see their faces whose cheeks are attractive with the effulgence of glittering earrings, reflected in the mirror of the gem-like, brilliant pink toe nails of his lotus feet. [Note: Ananta seems to have both a snake form and a human form. ] This verse describes the attractiveness of Ananta’s beauty. They use all (ṣaṇḍa) the groups of his nails as mirrors.
