punaḥ kṛṣṇa catur-vyÅ«ha laÃ±Ä pÅ«rva-rÅ«pe
paravyoma-madhye vaise nÄrÄyaṇa-rÅ«pe
punaḥ - again; kṛṣṇa - Kṛṣṇa; catur-vyÅ«ha - the quadruple expansions; laÃ±Ä - taking; pÅ«rva-rÅ«pe - as previously; paravyoma-madhye - in the paravyoma area; vaise - resides; nÄrÄyaṇa-rÅ«pe - in the form of four-handed NÄrÄyaṇa.
“Lord Kṛṣṇa again expands, and within the paravyoma, the spiritual sky, He is situated in fullness as the four-handed NÄrÄyaṇa, accompanied by expansions of the original quadruple form.
At the top of the paravyoma, the spiritual sky, there is Goloka Vá¹›ndÄvana, which is divided into three parts. Two of the parts, called MathurÄ and DvÄrakÄ, are the residences of Kṛṣṇa in His prÄbhava-vilÄsa forms. BalarÄma, Kṛṣṇa’s vaibhava-prakÄÅ›a, is eternally situated in Gokula. From the quadruple prÄbhava-vilÄsa, twenty-four forms of the vaibhava-vilÄsa are expanded. Each has four hands holding weapons in different positions. The topmost planet in the spiritual sky is Goloka Vá¹›ndÄvana, and below that planet is the spiritual sky itself. In that spiritual sky, Kṛṣṇa Himself is four-handed and is situated as NÄrÄyaṇa.
