Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Madhya 21.117
Kṛṣṇa Is the Mine of Transcendental Qualities
“The quintessence of Kṛṣṇa’s sweet bodily luster is so perfect that there is no perfection above it. He is the immutable mine of all transcendental qualities. In His other manifestations and personal expansions, there is only a partial exhibition of such qualities. We understand all His personal expansions in this way.

- Kṛṣṇa’s sweet bodily luster is so perfect that no perfection stands above it.
- He is the immutable, or unchanging, mine of all transcendental qualities.
- His other manifestations and personal expansions exhibit these qualities only partially. This is how His personal expansions are to be understood.
