Girirāja: "O Lord of the universe, I see in Your universal body many, many forms—bellies, mouths, eyes—expanded without limit. There is no end, there is no beginning and there is no middle to all this."
Prabhupāda: A crude example can be given: Just like a man may be director of this company and trust of that company and so many where he is working. But his wife is seeing that he is her husband, that's all. He does not see anything, although he is working in aneka-rūpam. This is the . . . a crude example. He (she) has his eyes to see, "Here is my beloved husband." That's all. Just like Yaśodāmayī. Yaśodāmayī saw that all the universes within the mouth. He (she) asked, he (she) ordered Kṛṣṇa, "I want to see whether You have eaten dirt. Open Your mouth." So Kṛṣṇa opened the mouth, and not only dirt, but all the universes . . . so she saw, but she did not believe that Kṛṣṇa can have all these universes.
Dr. Patel: Because she was seeing her son.
Prabhupāda: So she said: "All right, that's all right. Don't do it again." She did not take care of the universes. Although Kṛṣṇa showed him (her) all the universes within the mouth, she was concerned with Kṛṣṇa, that's all.
Dr. Patel: Next verse? All right.
- kirīṭinaṁ gadinaṁ cakriṇaṁ ca
- tejo-rāśiṁ sarvato dīptimantam
- paśyāmi tvāṁ durnirīkṣyaṁ samantād
- dīptānalārka-dyutim aprameyam
- (BG 11.17)
Girirāja: "Kirīṭinam—with helmets; gadinam—with maces; cakriṇam—with discs; ca—and; tejaḥ-rāśim—effulgence; sarvataḥ—all sides; dīpti-mantam—glowing; paśyāmi—I see; tvām—You; durnirīkṣyam—difficult to see; samantāt—spreading; dīpta-anala . . ."
Prabhupāda: The glowings are there; we cannot see even the sun. All the glowings are there. It is difficult. Yes. Go on.
