“Lord Krsna again expands, and within the paravyoma, the spiritual sky, He
is situated in fullness as the four-handed Narayana, accompanied by expan-
sions of the original quadruple form.

PURPORT

At the top of the paravyoma, the spiritual sky, there is Goloka Vrndavana,
which is divided into three parts. Two of the parts, called Mathura and Dvaraka,
are the residences of Krsna in His prabhava-vilasa forms. Balarama, Krsna’s
vaibhava-prakasa, is eternally situated in Gokula. From the quadruple prabhava-
vilasa, twenty-four forms of the vaibhava-vilasa are expanded. Each has four
hands holding weapons in different positions. The topmost planet in the spiritual
sky is Goloka Vrndavana, and below that planet is the spiritual sky itself. In that
spiritual sky, Krsna Himself is four-handed and is situated as Narayana.
