TRANSLATION

The four Kumaras, headed by Sanat-kumara, who all knew the transcen-
dental pastimes of the Lord, glorified the Lord in rhythmic accents with
selected words full of affection and love. At that time Lord Sankarsana,
with His thousands of raised hoods, began to radiate an effulgence from
the glowing stones on His head.

PURPORT

The Lord ts sometimes addressed as uttamagloka, which means ‘“‘one
who is worshiped with selected words by devotees.” A profusion of such
selected words comes from a devotee who ts fully absorbed in affection
and love for the devotional service of the Lord. There are many instances
in which even a small boy who was a great devotee of the Lord could offer
excellent prayers in the choicest words for glorification of the pastimes of
the Lord. In other words, without the development of fine affection and
love, one cannot offer prayers to the Lord very suitably.
