“Because Krsna has four extraordinary qualities not possessed by Lord
Narayana, the goddess of fortune, Laksmi, always desires His company.

PURPORT

Lord Narayana has sixty transcendental qualities. Over and above these, Krsna
has four extraordinary transcendental qualities absent in Lord Narayana. These
four qualities are: (1) wonderful pastimes that are compared to an ocean; (2)
association in the circle of supreme devotees in conjugal love (the gopis); (3) Lord
Krsna’s playing on the flute whose vibration attracts the three worlds; (4) Lord
Krsna’s extraordinary beauty, which surpasses the beauty of the three worlds. Lord
Krsna’s beauty is unequaled and unsurpassed.
