<< VERSE 11 >>
dehaṁ mānuṣam āśritya kati varṣāṇi vṛṣṇibhiḥ yadu-puryāṁ sahāvātsīt patnyaḥ katy abhavan prabhoḥ
WORD BY WORD
TRANSLATION
| Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, has no material body, yet He appears as a human being. For how many years did He live with the descendants of Vṛṣṇi? How many wives did He marry, and for how many years did He live in Dvārakā?
|
PURPORT
| In many places the Supreme Personality of Godhead is described as sac-cid-ānanda-vigraha, possessing a spiritual, blissful body. His bodily feature is narākṛti, that is, exactly like that of a human being. Here the same idea is repeated in the words mānuṣam āśritya, which indicate that He accepts a body exactly like that of a man. Everywhere it is confirmed that Kṛṣṇa is never nirākāra, or formless. He has His form, exactly like that of a human being. There is no doubt about this.
