TRANSLATION
His loins and hips encircled by a girdle, He stands on the lotus of His
devotee’s heart. He is most charming to look at, and His serene aspect
gladdens the eyes and souls of the devotees who behold Him.
PURPORT
The word darsaniyatamam, which is used in this verse, means that the
Lord is so beautiful that the devolee-yogi does not wish to see anything
else. His desire to see beautiful objects is completely satisfied by the sight
of the Lord. In the matcrial world we want to see beauty, but the desire
is never satisfied. All the propensities that we feel in the material world are
never satisfied. Because of material contamination, not all of the propen-
sities we feelin the material world are satisfied. But when our desires to see,
hear, touch, etc., are dovetailed for the satisfaction of the Supreme
Personality of Godhead, they are on the level of the topmost perfection.
Although the Supreme Personality of Godhead in His eternal form is so
beautiful and pleasing to the heart of the devotee, He does not attract the
impersonalists who want to meditate on His impersonal aspect. This is
simply fruitless labor. The actual yogis, with half-closed eyes, fix on the
form of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, not upon anything void or
impersonal.
