Inside that palace, at a distance I saw a golden royal throne, radiant with precious jewels. The mattress and pillows on that throne were very soft, as white as a swan, and as beautiful as a spotless full moon. 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍 艢谤墨 痴补颈办耻峁囜弓丑补-苍腻迟丑补, the Lord of ever-fresh new youth, was happily reclining there, resting on His left side with His elbow on those soft pillows.
Commentary: Dig-dar艣in墨-峁玨膩 with Bh膩v膩nuv膩da
(By 艢谤墨la San膩tana Gosv膩m墨 himself including a deep purport of that commentary)
艢谤墨 Gopa-办耻尘腻谤补 says, 鈥淔rom far away, I saw that in the middle of the immense court of that palace there was the king of thrones鈥揵eautiful, golden, and sparkling with inlaid jewels. On that throne, there was a lovely, soft, and effulgent swan-white mattress, upon which the Lord of 艢谤墨 痴补颈办耻峁囜弓丑补 was comfortably seated.鈥�
It may be asked, 鈥淲hat was the manner in which 艢谤墨 痴补颈办耻峁囜弓丑补苍腻迟丑补 was seated?鈥� He says, 鈥淭here was a soft pillow giving off a white luster that was more beautiful than the spotless full moon. 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍 艢谤墨 痴补颈办耻峁囜弓丑补-苍腻迟丑补, the Lord of ever-fresh youth, was contentedly leaning His left side against that soft round bolster, with His elbow resting on top of it.鈥�
The word nava-yauvana, meaning 鈥榚ver-fresh youth,鈥� indicates that there is never any change in the Lord鈥檚 divine, fresh, youthful appearance. He is 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍 and all opulences are under His control, so He is eternally in the transcendental prime of youth. This beautiful form of the Lord was much more attractive than Gopa-办耻尘腻谤补 had expected. The reason for this shall be explained further on.
