TRANSLATION

Dhruva Maharaja saw two very beautiful associates of Lord Visnu in the
plane. They had four hands and a blackish bodily luster; they were very
youthful, and their eyes were just like reddish lotus flowers. They held
clubs in their hands, and they were dressed in very attractive garments with
helmets and were decorated with necklaces, bracelets and earrings.

PURPORT

The inhabitants of Visnuloka are of the same bodily feature as Lord
Visnu, and they also hold club, conchshell, lotus flower and disc. In this
verse it is distinctly stated that they had four hands and were nicely dressed;
the description of their bodily decorations corresponds exactly to that of
Visnu. So the two uncommon personalities who descended from the air-
plane came directly from Visnuloka, or the planet where Lord Visnu lives.
