He is naturally soft-hearted due to causeless mercy, possesses a straight-forward nature, shows the path of ideal justice, accepts the vow of one wife, keeps His face always lowered due to polite shyness, always gazing downwards. He is pleasing to the world, the chief Deity of the city of 础测辞诲丑测腻, the King of kings, who is served by 艢r墨 厂墨迟腻 and 尝补办峁补峁嘺, the elder brother of 艢r墨 Bharata, who has affection for the King of monkeys 厂耻驳谤墨惫补, as well as the Lord of monkeys like me, the shelter of 痴颈产丑墨峁峁嘺, one who carries the bow, the son of 顿补艣补谤补迟丑补 and Kausaly膩.
Commentary: Dig-dar艣in墨-峁玨膩 with Bh膩v膩nuv膩da
(By 艢r墨la San膩tana Gosv膩m墨 himself including a deep purport of that commentary)
Although it is essential for us to visit the house of the P膩峁囜笉avas, still I have the utmost attachment in the beautiful form of 艢r墨 搁腻尘补肠补苍诲谤补, who is non-different than 艢r墨 顿别惫补办墨-nandana, which has increased by 艢r墨 Devaki-nandana Himself. Therefore 艢r墨 贬补苍耻尘腻苍, according to His natural affection, is describing the specialities of 艢r墨 搁腻尘补肠补苍诲谤补, through the seventeen uncommon adjectives such as sahaja. Sahaja means natural, free from crookedness, having a softheart due to non-deceptive mercy, rather, He is straight-forward and simple by nature.
膧谤测补 means most worshipable. By His own example He is the initiator of 腻谤测补-dharma (civilized religious duties). Due to excessive humility, He has the most beautiful face, which is always lowered, whose eyesight does not glance here and there, is always focused downwards, whose nature pleases the entire world, namely, all living entities. 厂耻驳谤墨惫补 is the most beloved friend of His, He is the Lord of the monkeys and refuge of 痴颈产丑墨峁峁嘺. I have the topmost affection in 艢r墨 搁补驳丑耻苍腻迟丑补.
