But Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself. In every age
He protects the world through His different features when the world is

disturbed by the enemies of Indra.’
CC Madhya 9.144 — “Because Kṛṣṇa has four extraordinary quali es
not possessed by Lord Nārāyaṇa, the goddess of fortune, Lakṣmī, always
desires His company.
(Lord Nārāyaṇa has sixty transcendental quali es. Over and above
these, Kṛṣṇa has four extraordinary transcendental quali es absent in
Lord Nārāyaṇa. These four quali es are (1) His wonderful pas mes,
which are compared to an ocean, (2) His associa on in the circle of the
supreme devotees in conjugal love (the gopīs), (3) His playing on the
flute, whose vibra on a racts the three worlds, and (4) His extraordi-

CC Madhya 9.149 — “Although Kṛṣṇa assumed the four-armed form of
Nārāyaṇa, He could not a ract the serious a en on of the gopīs in ec-
sta c love.
CC Madhya 9.150 — “ ‘Once Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa playfully manifested Himself
