324 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 3, Ch. 8

TRANSLATION

His transcendental body, unlimited in length and breadth, occupied the
three planetary systems, upper, middle and lower. His body was self-
illuminated by unparalleled dress and variegatedness and was properly
ornamented.

PURPORT

The length and breadth of the transcendental body of the Supreme
Personality of Godhead could only be measured by His own measurement
because He is all-pervading throughout the complete cosmic manifestation.
The beauty of material nature is due to His personal beauty, yet He is
always magnificently dressed and ornamented to prove His transcendental
variegatedness, which is so important in the advancement of spiritual
knowledge.

The Lord showed His lotus feet by raising them. His lotus feet are the
source of all awards achieved by devotional service which is free from
material contamination. Such awards are for those who worship Him in
pure devotion. The splendor of the transcendental rays from His moonlike
toenails and fingernails appeared like the petals of a flower.
