Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu .1.23
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī, after consulting various scriptures, has enumerated the transcendental qualities of the Lord as follows: (1) beautiful features of the entire body; (2) marked with all auspicious characteristics; (3) extremely pleasing; (4) effulgent; (5) strong; (6) ever youthful;
Qualities function in two ways: as primary indicators and as secondary indicators. If we talk about the beautiful limbs of Kṛṣṇa, the emphasis is placed on the quality of Kṛṣṇa, the beautiful limbs. In this case, acting in a primary way, the quality acts as uddīpana. If we talk about beautiful-limbed Kṛṣṇa, the emphasis is on Kṛṣṇa, and the quality is secondary (intrinsic to His very self). The quality in this case acts as the ālambana. The qualities in their secondary function, acting as ālambana, will be described first. In this verse ayaṁ netā means the hero or object of love, who is called Kṛṣṇa.
