The spots of sandalwood pulp on Kṛṣṇa's face are also considered different moons, and His fingernails and toenails are also different moons. His forehead is considered a half moon, His face is considered the king of moons, and His body is considered the throne. All the other candras (moons) are considered to be subordinate moons.
