Chapter 16: Verse 51-60

ENGLISH TRANSLATION 51.O master, now we have become purified. Now we are directly offering lotus flowers to the same person we always meditated on, the same person we worshipped with lotus flowers day after day. 52.The Supreme Personality of Godhead is one. Who can be His rival? How can He have a material form? How can He have a material form? Out of kindness to His devotees, He employs His Yogamaya potency to expand in a great variety of spiritual forms. 53.You are our master. O Lord, please accept these lotus flowers. O infallible one, please fulfil the desire of our hearts by showing to us the form of Lord Krsna, who... 54. ...has two arms, is dark, handsome, and youthful, wears yellow garments, holds a pastime flute in His hand, is the Supreme Personality of Godhead,... 55. ...has one face and two eyes, is anointed with sandal and aguru and decorated with jewel ornaments, has a gentle smile and a face filled with happiness,... 56. ...wears a peacock-feather crown and a jasmine garland, has a chest splendid with kaustubha, the king of jewels,... 57. ...is splendid with garlands of parijata flowers, and is more splendid, charming, handsome, and playful than many millions of Kamadevas,... 58. ...on whom the gopis gaze with crooked eyes, who is in the full bloom of youth, who rests on Radha’s breast,... 59. ...whom Brahma and the demigods glorify with prayers, bow down before, meditate on, and yearn to attain the company of, who is self-satisfied, whose desires are all fulfilled, and who is overcome with feelings of mercy for the devotees. 60.After speaking these words, the gandharvas, the hairs of their bodies erect as they remembered Lord Krsna’s transcendental form, respectfully stood before Lord Siva.
