ENGLISH TRANSLATION
171.In his sleepy trance Indra saw Kåñëa everywhere. Everywhere was two-handed Kåñëa, holding a flute, decorated with jewel ornaments, . . . 172.. . . dressed in yellow garments, siting on a jewel throne, gently smiling, filled with kindness for His devotees, . . . 173.. . . and all His limbs anointed with sandal paste. Gazing at this great wonder everywhere in the universe filled with moving and unmoving beings, Indra fell into a deep trance. 174.-177.Then Indra chanted a transcendental mantra long ago received from his guru. He saw a great light within a thousand-petal lotus. Penetrating the light to its source, he saw a very handsome and splendid person, dark and glorious like a monsoon cloud, wearing glittering, jewel, shark-shaped earrings, wearing a splendid crown of the kings of jewels, His neck and chest splendid with the splendid king of kaustubha jewels, and His limbs decorated with jewel bracelets, armlets, and anklets. Indra saw this person inside his heart and he also saw the same person outside, standing before him. Then Indra offered prayers to Him, the original Supreme Personality of Godhead. 178.To the imperishable Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is eternal, whose form is splendid, who is beyond the modes of material nature, who has no material form, whose desires are all fulfilled, who is limitless, . . . 179.. . . who to give the devotees a chance to meditate on Him and serve Him appears in each yuga in forms that are either white, red, yellow, or black, . . . 180.. . . who in Satya-yuga, appears in a form suitable for the Satya-yuga, a splendid white form, who in Tretä-yuga appears in a form red like kuìkuma, a form shining with spiritual splendor, . . .
