248 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 9, Ch. 24

vikrama-lilaya—the pastimes of heroism; nr-lokam—human society;
ramayaém dsa—pleased; murtya—by His personal form; sarva-arga-
ramyaya—the form that pleases everyone by all parts of the body.

TRANSLATION

Assisted by the descendants of Bhoja, Vrsni, Andhaka, Madhu,
Sarasena, Daéarha, Kuru, Sriijaya and Pandu, Lord Krsna per-
formed various activities. By His pleasing smiles, His affectionate
behavior, His instructions and His uncommon pastimes like rais-
ing Govardhana Hill, the Lord, appearing in His transcendental
body, pleased all of human society.

PURPORT

The words nrlokam ramayam asa mirtyd sarvanga-ramyaya are sig-
nificant. Krsna is the original form. Bhagavan, the Supreme Personality
of Godhead, is therefore described here by the word mirtyd. The word
mirti means “form.” Krsna, or God, is never impersonal; the imper-
sonal feature is but a manifestation of His transcendental body (yasya
prabha prabhavato jagad-anda-hoti). The Lord is nardkrti, exactly
resembling the form of a human being, but His form is different from
ours. Therefore the word sarvdnga-ramyaya informs us that every part
of His body is pleasing for everyone to see. Apart from His smiling face,
every part of His body—His hands, His legs, His chest—is pleasing to
the devotees, who cannot at any time stop seeing the beautiful form of

the Lord.
