256 Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead
and His toes were as beautiful as the petals of the lotus flower. His helmet
was decorated with very valuable jewels. There was a nice belt around the
waist, and He wore a sacred thread across His broad chest. Bangles were on
His hands and armlets on the upper portion of His arms. He wore bells on
His ankles. He possessed dazzling beauty, and His palms were like the lotus
flower. He was still more beautiful with different emblems of the Visnu-
murti, the conchshell, club, disc and lotus flower, which He held in His
four hands. His chest was marked with the particular signs of Visnu, and He
wore fresh flower garlands. All in all, He was very beautiful to look at.
Akrira also saw His Lordship surrounded by intimate associates like the
four Kumaras, Sanaka, Sanadtana, Sananda and Sanatkumara, and other
associates like Sunanda and Nanda, as well as demigods like Brahma and
Lord Siva. The nine great learned sages were there, and devotees like
Prahlada and Narada were engaged in offering prayers to the Lord with
cleanhearts and pure words. After seeing the transcendental Personality of
Godhead, Akriira immediately became overwhelmed with great devotion,
and all over his body there was transcendental shivering. Although for the
moment he was bewildered, he retained his clear consciousness and bowed
down his head before the Lord. With folded hands and faltering voice, he
began to offer prayers to the Lord.

Thus ends the Bhaktivedanta purport of the Thirty-eighth Chapter of
Krsna, “‘Akrira’s Return Journey and His Visiting of Visnuloka Within the
Yamuna River.”
