TRANSLATION

The two doormen were garlanded with fresh flowers which attracted
intoxicated bees and which were placed around their necks and between
their four blue hands. From their arched eyebrows, discontented nostrils
and reddish eyes, they appeared somewhat agitated.

PURPORT

Their garlands attracted swarms of bees because they were garlands of
fresh flowers. In the Vaikuntha world every thing is fresh, new and transcen-
dental. The inhabitants of Vaikuntha have bodies of bluish color and four
hands like Narayana.
