208 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 8, Ch. 6
TRANSLATION

Lord Brahma, along with Lord Siva, saw the crystal-clear per-
sonal beauty of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, whose
blackish body resembles a marakata gem, whose eyes are reddish
like the depths of a lotus, who is dressed with garments that are
yellow like molten gold, and whose entire body is attractively
decorated. They saw His beautiful, smiling, lotuslike face,
crowned by a helmet bedecked with valuable jewels. The Lord has
attractive eyebrows, and His cheeks are adorned with earrings.
Lord Brahma and Lord Siva saw the belt on the Lord’s waist, the
bangles on His arms, the necklace on His chest, and the ankle bells
on His legs. The Lord is bedecked with flower garlands, His neck is
decorated with the Kaustubha gem, and He carries with Him the
goddess of fortune and His personal weapons, like His disc and
club. When Lord Brahma, along with Lord Siva and the other
demigods, thus saw the form of the Lord, they all immediately fell

to the ground, offering their obeisances.
