Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 3, Ch. 8]
TRANSLATION
His transcendental body, unlimited in length and breadth, occupied the three planetary systems, upper, middle and lower. His body was self-illuminated by unparalleled dress and variegatedness and was properly ornamented.
PURPORT
The length and breadth of the transcendental body of the Supreme Personality of Godhead could only be measured by His own measurement because He is all-pervading throughout the complete cosmic manifestation. The beauty of material nature is due to His personal beauty, yet He is always magnificently dressed and ornamented to prove His transcendental variegatedness, which is so important in the advancement of spiritual knowledge.
TEXT 26
पुंसां स्वकामाय विविक्तमार्गे- रम्यर्चतां कामदुग्धाङ्घ्रिपथम् । प्रदर्शयन्तं कृपया नखेन्दु- मयूखमिन्नाङ्गुलिचारुपत्रम् ॥२६॥
puṁsāṁ svakāmāya vivikta-mārgair abhyarcatāṁ kāma-dughāṅgri-padmam pradarśayantaṁ kṛpayā nakhendu- mayūkha-bhinnāṅguli-cārupatram

TRANSLATION
The Lord showed His lotus feet by raising them. His lotus feet are the source of all awards achieved by devotional service which is free from material contamination. Such awards are for those who worship Him in pure devotion. The splendor of the transcendental rays from His moonlike toenails and fingernails appeared like the petals of a flower.
