When the demon saw the Personality of Godhead, who had eyes just like lotus petals, standing in position before him, armed with His Sudarśana discus, his senses were overpowered by indignation. He began to hiss like a serpent, and he bit his lip in great resentment.
Gauḍīya Ācāryas
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura
Gauḍīya
Translation
First seeing his cakra, and then seeing the Lord arrive in front of him with his lotus eyes, Hiraṇyākṣa, his senses filled with wrath, breathed heavily in anger and bit his lip.
First he saw the cakra, and then he saw the Lord present before him. He bit his lip (danta-cchadam).
Personal Guidance
Seeing the Lord with lotus-petal eyes, armed with Sudarśana, the demon is overpowered with indignation, hissing like a serpent. Even being in the presence of the Lord can intensify hatred in some hearts. The same sun melts butter and hardens clay.
Reflection Questions
- When I encounter beauty and truth, does my heart soften or stiffen?
- What in me resembles the serpent-hissing reflex, and what could melt it instead?
