After kUNi had applied the sandalwood paste, the women in that place had looked at him and applied identifications on him, with their eyes. krishNa can\u2019t remove those identifications. The identifications applied by them are the marks of their eyes, which are like fish. Thus, identification marks with fish of various types had been applied on him. Even if those marks had got rubbed off during his fight with the wrestlers, the women would have said \u201cHe would have gone elsewhere, and those marks would have got rubbed off then\u201d.
