Kṛṣṇa’s Four Extraordinary Qualities
“Because Kṛṣṇa has four extraordinary qualities not possessed by Lord Nārāyaṇa, the goddess of fortune, Lakṣmī, always desires His company.
What the purport teaches
- Lord Nārāyaṇa has sixty transcendental qualities, and Kṛṣṇa has four extraordinary qualities beyond these. Because of these qualities, Lakṣmī always desires Kṛṣṇa’s company.
- Kṛṣṇa’s wonderful pastimes are compared to an ocean. He also associates with the supreme devotees in conjugal love, the gopīs.
- His flute’s vibration attracts the three worlds, and His extraordinary beauty surpasses their beauty. His beauty is unequaled and unsurpassed.
