Perhaps it is because, although He is independently full of supreme transcendental bliss, He is nevertheless also full of love for the Vraja-gopīs, or perhaps it is in order to show mercy to the devotees, on the pretext of killing the demons, that Lord Kṛṣṇa, desiring to perform pastimes, has descended to the land of Vrajabhūmi in this world. I offer my respectful obeisances to that Lord Kṛṣṇa, the all-blissful Supreme Personality of Godhead, whose complexion is like the color of a multitude of dark rain-clouds.
