celestial form
Divine black-hued Hari displayed his celestial form (20).
His body was dark-hued like a cloud and his hairs were black like collyrium. In his dark form Krishna appeared like a dark mountain (21).
He put on a burning yellow raiment and was bedecked with gold. It appeared as if a body, enveloped with the darkness of smoke, arose like the fire of dissolution (22).
His shoulders had grown eightfold, his heads were covered with head-gears and his fists were adorned with golden weapons (23).
His hand was delighted with a sword by name Nandaka which was immoveable like a mountain stricken with the rays of the sun and the moon and which was tied to a waist-cloth of the hue of Menas stone. The arrows were like the serpents (24).
He held mace, thunderbolt, a ploughshare, a conch, a discus and a club in his hands. Vishnu was like a mountain of which the base was forgiveness and the tree was Sree.
He held the Sranga bow in his hand. He was seated on a car to which were yoked yellow-hued horses, on which were hoisted flags having the emblem of Garuda painted on them, which had the effulgence of the moon, had beautiful wheels, of which Mandara mountain was the axle, and the serpent Ananta was the rein.
It had Meru and Kuvera on it, was filled with stars and planets and adorned with variegated flowers. That lord of gods, who always gives protection, was seen seated in the sky on an effulgent celestial car by the gods defeated by the Daityas at a time when they were stricken with fear (25–28).

O king, among them the conchshell Pancajanya was especially exalted. Touching His mouth, again and again he would drink the nectar of Lord Krsna's lips.

Then one day he became proud and in his heart he said to himself: "I am the king of conchshells. I am effulgent as the king of swans. Lord Krsna personally holds me.

"When He is victorious, Sri Krsna points me to the south and makes a great sound through me. At that moment I drink the nectar of Lord Krsna's lips, which is diificult even for the goddess of fortune to obtain.

tat tasmat sarva-mukhyo 'smi
pibamy aham ahar-nicam
