Another example: Let the exquisite pastimes of Nārāyaṇa and the avatāras which cause bliss to the world appear in this universe! But the taste of the rāsa-līlā which causes astonishment even in Hari is filling my heart with inconceivable astonishment.

One devotee has said, “I know about Nārāyaṇa, the husband of the goddess of fortune, and I also know about many other incarnations of the Lord. Certainly all the pastimes of such incarnations are exciting to my mind, but still the pastimes of the rāsa-līlā performed by Lord Kṛṣṇa Himself are wonderfully increasing my transcendental pleasure.”
