śrī-śuka uvāca iti stutaḥ saṁstuvataḥ sa tasminn aghamarṣaṇe prādurāsīt kuru-śreṣṭha bhagavān bhakta-vatsalaḥ
Śrī Śukadeva Gosvāmī berkata: Dipuji oleh Dakṣa, Bhagavān Hari yang sangat mengasihi para bhakta menampakkan diri di tempat suci bernama Aghamarṣaṇa. Kedua kaki teratai-Nya bertumpu di bahu Garuḍa, dan Ia tampak dengan delapan lengan yang panjang, perkasa, dan indah. Di tangan-tangan-Nya berkilau cakra, śaṅkha, pedang, perisai, anak panah, busur, tali jerat, dan gada. Ia mengenakan pītāmbara, berwarna biru gelap, dengan wajah dan mata yang cerah; tubuh-Nya dihiasi rangkaian bunga, dada-Nya bertanda Śrīvatsa dan permata Kaustubha. Mahkota agung, anting berbentuk makara, ikat pinggang emas, gelang, cincin, lonceng kaki, dan hiasan lengan memperindah-Nya. Dalam rupa Puruṣottama yang memikat tiga dunia, Ia dikelilingi Nārada, Nanda, para dewa dipimpin Indra, serta para Siddha, Gandharva, dan Cāraṇa yang terus-menerus melantunkan pujian.
