“‘O most beautiful friend, please accept the Supreme Personality of God-
head, who is standing before you full of transcendental bliss. The borders of
His eyes roam from side to side, and His eyebrows move slowly like
bumblebees on His lotuslike face. Standing with His right foot placed below
the knee of His left leg, the middle of His body curved in three places, and His
neck gracefully tilted to the side, He takes His flute to His pursed lips and
moves His fingers upon it here and there.’
PURPORT
