Text 2] Lord Vamanadeva, the Dwarf Incarnation 29
hands were decorated with a conchshell, club, lotus and disc, He
was dressed in yellow garments, and His eyes appeared like the
petals of a blooming lotus.
PURPORT
The word amrta-bhih is significant in this verse. The Lord sometimes
appears like an ordinary child taking birth, but this does not mean that
He is subject to birth, death or old age. One must be very intelligent to
understand the appearance and activities of the Supreme Lord in His in-
carnations. This is confirmed in Bhagavad-gita (4.9): janma karma ca
me divyam evam yo vetti tattvatah. One should try to understand that the
Lord’s appearance and disappearance and His activities are all divyam, or
transcendental. The Lord has nothing to do with material activities. One
who understands the appearance, disappearance and activities of the
Lord is immediately liberated. After giving up his body, he never again
has to accept a material body, but is transferred to the spiritual world
(tyaktvd dehar punar janma naiti mam eti so ’rjuna).
