They who know the rasas say that Lord Kṛṣṇa's qualities, names, pastimes, and decorations, other things in relationship to Kṛṣṇa, and various natural phenomena are among the numberless uddīpanas that increase the devotees' love for Lord Kṛṣṇa.

Verse 2

Lord Kṛṣṇa's qualities of three kinds: those of His mind, words, and body. Lord Kṛṣṇa has many names, such as Kṛṣṇa and Śrī Rādhā-Mādhava. Lord Kṛṣṇa's pastimes include His dancing, playing the flute, milking the cows, calling the cows by name, delivering the demon Aghāsura, and enthusiastically dancing with the gopas in the cow-pastures.

Verse 3

Lord Kṛṣṇa's decorations are of four kinds: His flower garlands, scented ointments, garments, and ornaments. Other things in relationship with Kṛṣṇa include: the music of His flute, buffalo-horn bugle, and vīṇā, His expert singing, sweet bodily fragrance, anklets, playing musical instruments, . . .
