from matter, but He is not born of matter. Brahma is born after the crea-
tion, but since the Lord existed before the creation, He therefore has no
material body.

TRANSLATION
Next, the yogi should fix his mind in meditation on the Personality of
Godhead’s thighs, the storehouse of all energy. The Lord’s thighs are
whitish blue, like the luster of the linseed flower, and appear most graceful
when the Lord is carried on the shoulders of Garuda. Also the yogi should
contemplate upon His rounded hips, which are encircled by a girdle that
rests on the exquisite yellow silk cloth that extends down to His ankles.
PURPORT
The Personality of Godhead is the reservoir of all strength, and His
strength rests on the thighs of His transcendental body. His whole body is
full of opulences: all riches, all strength, all fame, all beauty, all knowledge
and all renunciation. The yogi is advised to meditate upon the transcen-
dental form of the Lord, beginning from the soles of the feet and then
gradually rising to the knees, to the thighs, and finally arriving at the face.
