Srimad Bhagavatam — Shashtha Skandha, Shloka 30
Viśvarūpa’s Death, Vṛtrāsura’s Manifestation, and the Devas’ Surrender to Nārāyaṇa
आत्मतुल्यै: षोडशभिर्विना श्रीवत्सकौस्तुभौ । पर्युपासितमुन्निद्रशरदम्बुरुहेक्षणम् ॥ २९ ॥ दृष्ट्वा तमवनौ सर्व ईक्षणाह्लादविक्लवा: । दण्डवत् पतिता राजञ्छनैरुत्थाय तुष्टुवु: ॥ ३० ॥
ātma-tulyaiḥ ṣoḍaśabhir vinā śrīvatsa-kaustubhau paryupāsitam unnidra- śarad-amburuhekṣaṇam
至上主那罗延周围有十六位亲随侍奉；他们佩饰庄严，形貌与主无二，只是没有胸前的室利跋蹉印与考斯图巴宝珠。大王啊，诸天见主含笑，双目如秋莲花瓣，欢喜得不能自持，立刻如杖般俯伏作顶礼；随后缓缓起身，以颂祷赞美使主欢悦。
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.
