All correct! Except the extra "la" syllable here: "Kamalalalochana" -> Kamalalocanā and "Kamalalekshana" -> Kamalekṣaṇā.


I keep updating my original post with Question 100 as I discover more variations on "lotus-eyed" - Kamalavibuddhalocana for example.

When Kṛṣṇā Draupadī is identified as an avatāra of Śrī, she is described as Padmāyatākṣī.


At birth, she is described as Padmapalāśākṣī.


The brāhmaṇas who meet the Pāṇḍavas on the way to Kāmpilya describe her as Padmapatranibhekṣaṇā.

It was Uttarā who addressed dead Abhimanyu as Puṣkarekṣaṇa. Gāndhārī was quoting Uttarā's lament to Kṛṣṇa.


You are doing excellent, thorough research for this question!
