IDENTIFICATION OF THE AURA AND THE CURRENT
OF FEELING
Like a dark cloud, or collyrium, or the
black crow, Or a buffalo's horn is krishna leshya coloured; The wing of the blue bird, the precious emerald And the Asoka tree, give their blue to
neel leshya; Kapot leshya is grey like a pigeon's neck, Like linseed flowers and the wings
of a cuckoo; Red like vermilion or a lamp's flame And the rising sun, is tejoleshya's
grand sphere! Like turmeric and orpiment and
blossoming hemp flowers, Yellow is the colour of padma leshya clean! Like silver, a conch-shell, a jewel, a garland
of pearls, A white flower, or a stream of milk, is most
desirable leshya shukla!
