Text

“ ‘Above NÄrÄyaṇa, Kṛṣṇa has four specific transcendental qualities — His wonderful pastimes, an abundance of wonderful associates who are very dear to Him [like the gopÄ«s], His wonderful beauty and the wonderful vibration of His flute. Lord Kṛṣṇa is more exalted than ordinary living beings and demigods like Lord Åšiva. He is even more exalted than His personal expansion NÄrÄyaṇa. In all, the Supreme Personality of Godhead has sixty-four transcendental qualities in full.’
