My dear King, on the heart of Lord Murāri he saw religion; on the chest, both pleasing words and truthfulness; in the mind, the moon; on the bosom, the goddess of fortune, with a lotus flower in her hand; on the neck, all the Vedas and all sound vibrations; on the arms, all the demigods, headed by King Indra; in both ears, all the directions; on the head, the upper planetary systems; on the hair, the clouds; in the nostrils, the wind; on the eyes, the sun; and in the mouth, fire. From His words came all the Vedic mantras, on His tongue was the demigod of water, Varuṇadeva, on His eyebrows were the regulative principles, and on His eyelids were day and night. [When His eyes were open it was daytime, and when they were closed it was night.] On His forehead was anger, and on His lips was greed. O King, in His touch were lusty desires, in His semen were all the waters, on His back was irreligion, and in His wonderful activities or steps was the fire of sacrifice. On His shadow was death, in His smile was the illusory energy, and on the hairs of His body were all the drugs and herbs. In His veins were all the rivers, on His nails were all the stones, in His intelligence were Lord Brahmā, the demigods and the great saintly persons, and throughout His entire body and senses were all living entities, moving and stationary. Bali Mahārāja thus saw everything in the gigantic body of the Lord.
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
O King! On the heart of Murāri he saw religion; on the chest, both pleasing words and truthfulness; in his mind, the moon; on his chest, the goddess of fortune, with a lotus flower in her hand; on his neck, all the Vedas and all syllables; on his arms, all the devatās, headed by Indra; in both ears, all the directions; on his head, Svarga; on his hair, the clouds; in his nostrils, the wind; on his eyes, the sun; and in his mouth, fire. In his words were all the Vedic verses, on his tongue was Varuṇa, on his eyebrows were the rules and prohibitions, and on the opening and closing of his eyelids were day and night. On his forehead was anger, and on his lips was greed. O King! In his touch were lusty desires, in his semen were all the waters, on his back was irreligion, and in his wonderful activities was the fire of sacrifice. On his shadow was death, in his smile was the illusory energy, and on the hairs of his body were all the drugs and herbs. In his veins were all the rivers, on his nails were all the stones, in his intelligence were Lord Brahmā, the devatās and the sages. Throughout his entire body and senses were all living entities, moving and stationary. Ṛtam means pleasing words. Samasta-rephān means all the syllables of the alphabet, represented by the R sound. Dyauḥ means Svarga. Rase means “on the tongue.” Pakṣāsu means “on the opening and closing of the eyelids.” Retasā stands for retasī (in the semen). Kramaneṣu means “in his striding.” Oṣadhi-jātayaḥ should be oṣadhi-jātīḥ. Prāṇeṣu means “in the senses.”
