The four-armed form, from Lalita-mādhava:
“Kṛṣṇa, victorious over Kaṃsa, wearing the flashing Kaustubha jewel around His neck, holding the cakra, club, lotus and conch in His four hands, whose body is ornamented with extraordinary jewels, and who is accompanied by Garuḍa, makes me forget the splendor of Vaikuṇṭha.”
