| "When Kṛṣṇa was born, then Gargamuni was calculating about His horoscope, and he said to Nanda Mahārāja that 'This your child...' Idānīṁ kṛṣṇatāṁ gataḥ. Śuklo raktas tathā pīta idānīṁ kṛṣṇatāṁ gataḥ (SB 10.8.13): 'Your child had formerly white color'. White color... Sometimes some critics criticize us that 'Kṛṣṇa everywhere, He's black. Why in your temple white?' But it is said that śukla, śuklo raktas tathā pīta idānīṁ kṛṣṇatāṁ gataḥ: 'Your son had other colors also, white and red and yellow, and now He has assumed blackish color'."
