Text

Surrounding and serving the Supreme Personality of Godhead, NÄrÄyaṇa, were sixteen personal attendants, decorated with ornaments and appearing exactly like Him but without the mark of ÅšrÄ«vatsa and the Kaustubha jewel. O King, when all the demigods saw the Supreme Lord in that posture, smiling with eyes like the petals of lotuses grown in autumn, they were overwhelmed with happiness and immediately fell down like rods, offering daṇá¸avats. Then they slowly rose and pleased the Lord by offering Him prayers.

Purport

In Vaikuṇṭhaloka the Supreme Personality of Godhead has four hands and decorations like the Śrīvatsa mark on His chest and the gem known as Kaustubha. These are special indications of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The Lord’s personal attendants and other devotees in Vaikuṇṭha have the same features, except for the Śrīvatsa mark and the Kaustubha gem.
