For persons with impure vision, the Supreme Lord appears like an intoxicated person by the influence of māyā, but he is not such a red-eyed drunk. The wives of Kāliya were unable to worship the Lord because of shyness, since their senses were agitated by the touch of his feet. Will not the vision of an intoxicated person be affected? The Lord appears like an intoxicated person to the foolish (asad-dṛśaḥ). Such a drunk with red eyes loses his discrimination by drinking liquor. But you are not actually like that. You maintain your discrimination and are eternally full of bliss. The wives of Kāliya who were bewildered by the Lord’s beauty are described. They could not worship his feet (arhaṇe). Agitated by the touch of the Lord’s feet, they became shy. Since he is omniscient he knows about our agitated hearts. Thus they thought, “How can we serve him?”
