English translation
An example of siddhi, from Kṛṣṇa-kārṇāmṛta:
“On His head there is a peacock-feather ornament. His body is firm and blue, like an emerald pillar. His face is sweet with an attractive, variegated smile. His eyes are soft and playful. His childish voice removes all suffering. The movements of His body are more praiseworthy than the gait of a mad elephant. Who is this solitary person who moves softly about Vṛndāvana?”
