Meaning: Salutations to Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, adorned with the famed Cintāmaṇi stone, holding a lotus and a golden flute and in a tight embrace of His consort Rukminī devi. He is adorned with precious ornaments and garlands all over His body and dressed in yellow garments. He is the grantor of all wishes.
Cintāmaṇi is a mind-born precious stone and can be referenced as the precious discovery of our own true origin that can be discovered by turning our attention within ourselves, meaning a deep inner contemplation. Lord Kṛṣṇa embracing His consort Rukminī signifies the coupling of the static and dynamic aspects of the super-consciousness, which is the same as Śiva-Śakti-Aikya.
Both Śrī Kṛṣṇa and Śrī Rukminī represent the infinite super-consciousness and the entire Creation is a manifestation of their own desire to express themselves in various ways.
Śrī Kṛṣṇa is also the re-emergence of Manmadha - Kāma deva (cupid), who was earlier destroyed by Lord Rudra the Destroyer. The Creation cannot exist without love and emotions and Lord Kṛṣṇa is none other than Śrī Lalitā and Śrī Kālī. Everything that there is, is nothing but their play.
