Lord Krishna, the all attractive form of the Supreme, sits peacefully beneath a tree just before He concludes His activities on Earth. Every detail of His enchanting, radiant beauty is described in elegant poetry.
(Shrimad-Bhagavatam, by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada) 11.30.28-32

bibhrac catur-bhujaṁ rūpaṁ |
The Lord was exhibiting His brilliantly effulgent four-armed form, the radiance of which, just like a smokeless fire, dissipated the darkness in all directions. |
|
śrīvatsāṅkaṁ ghana-śyāmaṁ |
His complexion was the color of a dark blue cloud and His effulgence the color of molten gold, and His all-auspicious form bore the mark of Śrīvatsa. |
|
sundara-smita-vaktrābjaṁ |
A beautiful smile graced His lotus face, locks of dark blue hair adorned His head, His lotus eyes were very attractive, and His shark-shaped earrings glittered. |
|
kaṭi-sūtra-brahma-sūtra- |
He wore a pair of silken garments, an ornamental belt, the sacred thread, bracelets and arm ornaments, along with a helmet, the Kaustubha jewel, necklaces, anklets and other royal emblems. |
|
vana-mālā-parītāṅgaṁ |
Encircling His body were flower garlands and His personal weapons in their embodied forms. As He sat He held His left foot, with its lotus-red sole, upon His right thigh. |
|
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna |
“O Krishna, O energy of Krishna, please engage me in Your service.” |
