4 neck and chest have the symbol of Shrivatsa. They are very influential.
The unique garland prepared from fragrant flowers of all seasons decorates their chest. Their body and limbs bear 800 beautiful different symbols that add to their beauty.
Their gait was as beautiful as that of elephants of best breed. They have waist-band at their waist. They wear blue and black silken clothes.
They shine with their bright aura. Their voice was sobre, sweat and soft, 4 like the roaring sound of new cloud in winter. They are brave like lion
among human beings. Their gait was also like that of lion. They have defeated many powerful kings, like the lion. They are excellent. They are like full-moon for the natives of Dwarika.
They have the effect of austerities of their previous life-span. They enjoy the sensual pleasures as a result of meritorious deed of earlier period. They have life-span of several hundred years. They have amorous activities with their wives born in important areas. They enjoy pleasures 4 relating to sense of touch, taste, sight and smell. But in the end they die in a state of non-satisfaction from worldly enjoyments.
Elaboration In the earlier aphorism, it was mentioned that 5 Chakravartis have great prosperity and means of happiness but they remain not fully satisfied with those enjoyment and die in that condition. In the present aphorism the prosperity, wealth and means of enjoyment of Baldevas and Vasudevas has been narrated and it is stated that at the time of death they are also in a state of non-satisfaction. Until today nobody has become fully satisfied with sensual enjoyments.
Each progressive and regressive cycle of time has Balbhadras and Narayans (titles for epoch making greatmen) besides Chakravartis. The opulence, physical powers, strength, vehicles, glory and other qualities of a Narayan or Vasudev are half that of chakravarti. A balabhadra is the elder brother of a Vasudev.
In the aforesaid aphorism the description of Balbhadras and Narayans of every period has been included. The details of their 4 personalities and indulgences clearly convey that in spite of enjoying si best of material pleasures a mundane being never feels contented. Till
the last moment of his life he remains discontented and dies. That is the i purpose of this narrative.
