The Ecstacy of the Lord and His Devotees 125
four other special qualities which are: 1. able to manifest wonderful Pastimes,
2. His transcendental flute-playing; 3. eternal youth; 4. His Personal Beauty.

As Krishna has 64 transcendental qualities, described above, so Srimati
Radharani has 25 transcendental qualities by creation, material and spiritual.
But Radharani can control even Krisktta by Her transcendental qualities.
Such transcendental qualities are described as follows: 1. She is sweetness
personified. 2. She is a fresh young girl. 3. Her eyes are always moving. 4.
She is always brightly smiling. 5. She has all the signs of fortunate lines in Her
body. 6. By the flavor of Her person even Krishna becomes agitated. 7. She
is expert in the art of singing. 8. She can speak very nicely and sweetly. 9.
She is expert in presenting Herself by feminine attraction. 10. She is modest
and gentle. 11. She is always very merciful. 12. She is transcendentally cunning.
13. She knows how to dress nicely. 14. She is always shy. 15. She is always
respectful. 16. She is always patient. 17. She is very grave. 18. She is enjoyable
by Krishna. 19. She is always situated on the highest devotional platform. 20.
She can give shelter to all kinds of devotees. 22. She is always affectionate to
superior and inferior. 23. She is always obliged by the dealings of Her associates.
24. She is the greatest among all the girlfriends of Krishna. 25. She always
keeps Krishna under Her control.

So Krishna and Radharani are both transcendentally qualified, and both
are attractive for each other. But still, in that transcendental attractiveness,
Radharani is better than Krishna. This attractiveness of Radharani is the
transcendental taste in conjugal love. Similarly, there are transcendental tastes
in the flavors of servitude, friendship, and other relationships with Krishna.
They can be described as follows, with reference to the context of Bhakti
Rasamrita Sindhu.

Persons who have been thoroughly cleansed by devotional service and
are always joyful and full of elevated consciousness, who are very much
attached to the studies of Srimad Bhagwatam, always cheerful in the association
of devotees, and who have accepted the Lotus Feet of Krishna as the ultimate
shelter of their lives; who are pleased to perform all details of devotional
service—have in their pure hearts the transcendental ecstasy of attachment,
developed out of old and new reformatory performance. That state of being,
enriched with love of Krishna and transcendental experience, becomes gradu-
ally developed into the mature oneness of spiritual life. Such a spiritual taste of
life cannot be possible for those who are not in Krishna Consciousness and
in devotional service.

This fact is further corroborated in the Bhakti Rasamrita Sindhu, where it is
