至上主ナーラーヤナの周囲には、十六人の近侍が仕えていた。彼らは装身具で飾られ姿も主に等しいが、胸のシュリーヴァッツァ印とカウストゥバ宝珠だけは持たなかった。王よ、秋の蓮の花弁のような眼をたたえ微笑む主を見て、諸天は歓喜に震え、ただちにダンダヴァットで平伏し、やがてゆるやかに起き上がって讃歌を捧げ、主を喜ばせた。
In Vaikuṇṭhaloka the Supreme Personality of Godhead has four hands and decorations like the Śrīvatsa mark on His chest and the gem known as Kaustubha. These are special indications of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The Lord’s personal attendants and other devotees in Vaikuṇṭha have the same features, except for the Śrīvatsa mark and the Kaustubha gem.
FAQs
This verse describes the Lord’s eyes as fully blossomed autumn lotuses—pure, beautiful, and spiritually enchanting—indicating His ever-awake, compassionate presence.
Śrīvatsa is the sacred mark on the Lord’s chest, and Kaustubha is His celebrated jewel; both are traditional identifiers of the Supreme Personality of Godhead in Vaiṣṇava descriptions.
Meditating on these divine features (lotus eyes, sacred marks) supports steadiness in devotion, reduces anxiety, and redirects attention from temporary fears to spiritual shelter.
