## 17th Leshyapad: Fourth Uddeshak, Second Varna Adhikar 1226.
**[1226 Pr.]** Bhagavan! How is the Krishna Leshya color?
**[1226 U.]** Gautama! Just like a Jimuta (rain-bearing cloud at the beginning of the rainy season), or Anjan (black kohl or the Anjan gem), or Khanjan (a beetle found in the axle of a cart, or the soot on a lamp), or Kajjal (kohl), or Gavala (buffalo horn), or Gavala Vrinda (a group of buffalo horns), or Jamun fruit, or wet Aritha (or its flower), or Parapushta (koel), or Bhramara (bee), or a row of bees, or a baby elephant, or black hair, or Akash Thiggala (the space between the clouds in the autumn), or black Ashoka, or black Kaner, or black Bandhu Jeevak (a specific tree).
**[Pr.]** (Bhagavan!) Is Krishna Leshya really like this?
**[U.]** Gautama! This meaning is not possible. Krishna Leshya is said to be even more undesirable, more Akant (ugly), more unpleasant, more unappealing, and more un-Manam (highly undesirable) in color.
## 1227.
**[1227 Pr.]** Bhagavan! How is the Nila Leshya color?
