"A person who has broader intelligence, whether he be full of all material

"With eloquent prayers I and the Maruts please Lord Govinda, whose form is
eternal and full of knowledge and bliss, who stays under a desire tree in
Vṛndāvana, and who is this five-word mantra."

parts of the body.
Saṁśaya (doubt): Are the gentle smile and other features on the Lord's face and
the other parts of His body to be meditated on or not?
Pūrvapakṣa (the opponent speaks): Because by meditating on the Lord's general
qualities and virtues one attains the goal of life, and because that goal thus attained
