CC Madhya 9.141 — The Lord then continued, “My dear Venkata Bhatta, please do
not continue doubting. Lord Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and this is the
conclusion of the Vedic literatures.
CC Madhya 9.142 — Lord Narayana, the opulent form of Krsna, attracts the minds
of the goddess of fortune and her followers.

CC Madhya 9.143 — All these incarnations of Godhead are either plenary portions or
parts of the plenary portions of the purusa-avataras. But Krsna 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 Krsna has four extraordinary qualities not possessed by
Lord Narayana, the goddess of fortune, Laksmi, always desires His company.

(Lord Narayana has sixty transcendental qualities. Over and above these, Krsna has
four extraordinary transcendental qualities absent in Lord Narayana. These four qualities
are (1) His wonderful pastimes, which are compared to an ocean, (2) His association in the
circle of the supreme devotees in conjugal love (the gopis), (3) His playing on the fl ute, whose
vibration attracts the three worlds, and (4) His extraordinary beauty, which surpasses the
beauty of the three worlds. Lord Krsna’s beauty is unequaled and unsurpassed.)

CC Madhya 9.145 — You have recited the Sloka beginning with siddhantatas tv

conclusion of transcendental mellows.’

CC Madhya 9.147 — The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna, attracts the mind
of the goddess of fortune, but Lord Narayana cannot attract the minds of the gopis. This
proves the superexcellence of Krsna.

CC Madhya 9.148 — To say nothing of Lord Narayana personally, Lord Krsna
Himself appeared as Narayana just to play a joke on the gopis.

CC Madhya 9.149 — “Although Krsna assumed the four-armed form of Narayana,
He could not attract the serious attention of the gopis in ecstatic love.

CC Madhya 9.150 — Once Lord Sri Krsna playfully manifested Himself as Narayana,
with four victorious hands and a very beautiful form. When the gopis saw this exalted form,
however, their ecstatic feelings were crippled. A learned scholar, therefore, cannot understand
the gopis’ ecstatic feelings, which are fi rmly fi xed upon the original form of Lord Krsna as
the son of Nanda Maharaja. The wonderful feelings of the gopis in ecstatic parama-rasa
with Krsna constitute the greatest mystery in spiritual life.
CC Madhya 9.151 — In this way Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu defl ated the pride
