TRANSLATION

Lord Visnu looked extraordinarily beautiful because the goddess of
fortune and a garland were situated on his chest. His face was beautifully
decorated with a smiling attitude which can captivate the entire world,
especially the devotees. White hair fans appeared on both sides of the Lord
like white swans, and the white canopy overhead looked like the moon.

PURPORT

The smiling face of Lord Visnu is pleasing to the whole world. Not only
devotees but even nondevotees are attracted by such a smile. This verse
nicely describes how the sun, moon, eight-petaled lotus flower and hum-
ming black bees were represented by the fans of hair, the overhead canopy,
the moving earrings on both sides of His face, and His blackish hair. All
together, accompanied by the conchshell, wheel, club, lotus flower, bow,
arrows, shield and sword in His hands, these presented a grand and
beautiful audience for Lord Visnu which captivated all the demigods
there, including Daksa and Lord Brahma.
