TEXT 29

iṅhota dvi-bhuja, tiṅho dhare cāri hātha
iṅho veṇu dhare, tiṅho cakrādika sātha


SYNONYMS

iṅhota — this one; dvi-bhuja — two arms; tiṅho — He; dhare — manifests; cāri — four; hātha — hands; iṅho — this one; veṇu — flute; dhare — holds; tiṅho — He; cakra-ādika — the wheel, etc.; sātha — with.


TRANSLATION

This Personality of Godhead [Śrī Kṛṣṇa] has two hands and holds a flute, whereas the other [Nārāyaṇa] has four hands, with conch, wheel, mace and lotus.


PURPORT

Nārāyaṇa is identical to Śrī Kṛṣṇa. They are in fact the same person manifested differently, like a high-court judge who is differently situated in his office and at home. As Nārāyaṇa the Lord is manifested with four hands, but as Kṛṣṇa He is manifested with two hands.
