TRANSLATION

“ ‘These qualities are (1) the Lord is always situated in His original posi-
tion, (2) He is omniscient, (3) He is always fresh and youthful, (4) He is the
concentrated form of eternity, knowledge and bliss, and (5) He is the
possessor of all mystic perfection. There are another five qualities, which exist
in the Vaikuntha planets in Narayana, the Lord of Laksmi. These qualities are
also present in Krsna, but they are not present in demigods like Lord Siva or in
other living entities. These are (1) inconceivable supreme power,
(2) generating innumerable universes from the body, (3) being the original
source of all incarnations, (4) bestowing salvation upon enemies killed, and
(5) the ability to attract exalted persons who are satisfied in themselves. Al-
though these qualities are present in Narayana, the dominating Deity of the
Vaikuntha planets, they are even more wonderfully present in Krsna.
