Hare Krishna,
Does Sri Shyamsundar also has Bhrugu pada mark on his chest or only Sri Vishnu or Sri Narayan?

In the descriptions of Krsna's bodily form given in Govinda-lilamrita there is no mention of Bhrigu's mark on His chest.
Bhrigu would never be allowed entrance into Vraja lila to do such a thing.

Hare Krishna, thank you for response. I came across this Srila Prabhupad response in a letter prabhupadabooks.com/letters/los_angeles/august/12/1969/yamuna?d=1Regarding the footprint on Krishna's chest which you say is Radharani's, that is not correct. That footprint is of Bhrgu Muni. so how to understand this as I also thought that how come Sri Shyamsundar be kicked by Bhrugu, but then how to understand Srila Prabhupada response? thanks in advance. |

Srila Prabhupada is not referring to Vraja Krsna. Bhrgu kicked Visnu, not Krsna. There is a difference, even though They are non different. Visnu doesn't hold a flute.

Hare Krishna,
Thank you Prabhu.
I managed to find below verse from Sri Govind Lilamrit.
rekhā-svarūpa-ramayāśrita-vāma-bhāgaṁ
śrīvatsa-sac-chavi-virājita-dakṣiṇāṁśam |
kaṇṭha-stha-kaustubha-gabhasti-virājamānaṁ
śaśvad-vilāsa-lalitaṁ vana-mālikāyāḥ ||55||
The golden line of Lakṣmī resides on the left side of his chest, the Śrīvatsa on the right side,
and the Kaustubha jewel hangs below his throat, illuminating his chest decorated with
many garlands.
Here there is no mention of Bhrugu pada on Sri Shyamsundar's chest as you confirmed. so I take Srila Prabhupada though mention Krishna in his response it meant Vishnu.
Thank you for confirming.
But above verse brings new question to my mind.
What is the difference between Srivats and Golden line?
I used to think that Srivats is Laxmi residence and same as Golden line.
but above verse says left and right part of chest and two separate aspects on His chest.
please clarify my doubt.
Thanks in advance.
Hare Krishna

< What is the difference between Srivats and Golden line?>
I'm afraid I don't know the answer to that question.

Śrīvatsa is a curl of white hair on the chest of the Lord which is a special sign of His being the Supreme Personality of Godhead. In Vaikuṇṭhaloka or in Goloka Vṛndāvana, the inhabitants are exactly of the same form as the Personality of Godhead, but by this Śrīvatsa mark on the chest of the Lord He is distinguished from all others.
Srila Prabhupada writes above in purport to SB 3.19.15
So Srivatsa is curl of hair whereas Sri Laxmi residence is golden line.
Hare Krishna
