Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.39.51-52
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
śrīvatsa
—
the Śrīvatsa mark
Śrīvatsa = the mark of Śrī on Viṣṇu's chest, the curl-like sign where Lakṣmī resides. Iconographic identifier that this is no demigod but Viṣṇu Himself. Vraja-Kṛṣṇa also bears it.
-
kaustubham
—
the Kaustubha (jewel)
Kaustubha — the great gem on Viṣṇu's chest, churned from the Ocean of Milk. Gauḍīyas read it as representing the jīva — every soul is the gem worn at Kṛṣṇa's heart. To see Kaustubha is to see oneself in Him.
-
vana - mālinam
—
garlanded with the vana-mālā (forest-garland)
Vana-mālā = garland of five kinds of forest flowers reaching the knees — Viṣṇu's signature garland. The very forest-garland Vraja-Kṛṣṇa wears walking through the grazing-grounds. Continuity of form across cosmic scales.
-
śaṅkha - cakra - gadā - dharam
—
holding conch, disc, club
The three weapons (plus lotus) of the catur-bhuja-Viṣṇu. The Pāñcarātra liturgical formula. Naming them confirms: this is the Vaikuṇṭha-icon proper, not a generic vision.
-
padma - karam
—
lotus-handed (holding a lotus)
Padma in one hand. Together with śaṅkha-cakra-gadā this completes the four-handed iconography. Each of the four hands signifies a different mode of His relation to the cosmos in Pāñcarātra texts.
Now the ornaments are described in two verses. The “priceless jewels” were the finest jewels. The thread, necklace, anklets and earrings were also the best. He shone with all these items. Or, he wore these ornaments and shone because of his natural effulgence like a million suns. The lotus is mentioned separately from the other items in his hands since it is not a weapon. This lotus is particularly mentioned in his hand because he wore lotuses on other parts of his body as well.
Now the ornaments are described in two verses. The “priceless jewels” were the finest jewels. The thread, necklace, anklets and earrings were also the best. He shone with all these items. He wore a sacred thread. The ornaments were all studded with gems. Or, he wore these ornaments and shone because of his natural effulgence like a million suns. He had a lotus in his lower right hand and held a conch as well. These are mentioned because they are his chief weapons. The lotus he held for play however. Thus the word dharam is not mentioned with the lotus. Starting from the lower right and going counterclockwise, the four are listed. Thus the form had four arms. Or giving up the Lord who shone directly before him, Akrūra went for a bath. But in this one form he also saw unlimited wealth, with disregard for everything else.
Like a coronated emperor in full regalia — Mahā-Viṣṇu blazes with helmet, bracelets, armlets, waist-cord, sacred thread, necklaces, ankle-bells, earrings, all encrusted with priceless gems; in His four hands the lotus, conch, disc, club; on His chest the Śrīvatsa mark, the Kaustubha jewel, the Vana-mālā. Every ornament is a doctrine.
