PLATE FIVE
Those who are known as the impersonalist Vedāntists regard Kṛṣṇa as the impersonal Brahman. Others, known as Mīmāṁsaka philosophers, regard Him as religion. The Sāṅkhya philosophers regard Him as the transcendental person who is beyond  prakṛti  and  puruṣa  and who is the controller of even the demigods. Although these realizations are all partially true, it is only followers of the codes of devotional service known as the Pañcarātras who can know Kṛṣṇa completely—as the beloved cowherd boy of Vṛndāvana, who is always engaging in wonderful pastimes with His dear devotees, and whose unparalleled beauty attracts everyone in the three worlds.
