Text 116] The Opulence and Sweetness of Krsna 295

gane—among the expansions of Krsna’s personality; yenho—who; saba-avatari —
the source of all the incarnations; para-vyoma-adhikari —the predominating Deity
of the Vaikuntha planets; e madhurya—this ecstatic sweetness; nahi—is not;
narayane—even in Lord Narayana.

TRANSLATION

“The sweetness of Krsna’s beauty enjoyed by the gopis is unparalleled.
Nothing is equal to or greater than such ecstatic sweetness. Even the pre-
dominating Deities of the Vaikuntha planets, the Narayanas, do not possess
such sweetness. Indeed, none of the incarnations of Krsna up to Narayana
possess such transcendental beauty.
