TRANSLATION
Thereafter, the Lord entered His palaces, which were perfect to the
fullest extent. His wives lived in them, and they numbered over sixteen
thousand.
PURPORT
Lord Krsna had 16,108 wives, and for each and every one of them there
was a fully equipped palace complete with necessary compounds and
gardens. Full description of these palaces is given in the Tenth Canto. All
the palaces were made of the best marble stone. They were illuminated by
jewels and decorated by curtains and carpets of velvet and silk, nicely
bedecked and embroidered with gold lace. The Personality of Godhead
means one who is full with all power, all energy, all opulences, all
beauties, all knowledge and all renunciation. Therefore, in the palaces of
the Lord there was nothing wanting for fulfilling all desires of the Lord.
The Lord is unlimited, and therefore His desires are also unlimited, and the
supply is also unlimited. Everything being unlimited, it is shortly described
here as sarva-kamam, or full with all desirable equipment.
