নারাযণ হৈতে কৃষ্ণের অসাধারণ গুণ অতএব লক্ষ্মীর কৃষ্ণে তৃষ্ণা অনুক্ষণ

नारायण हैते कृष्णेर असाधारण गुण अतएव लक्ष्मीर कृष्णे तृष्णा अनुक्षण

Translation

"Because Kṛṣṇa has four extraordinary qualities not possessed by Lord Nārāyaṇa, the goddess of fortune, Lakṣmī, always desires His company.

Purport

Lord Narayana has sixty transcendental qualities. Over and above these, Kṛṣṇa has four extraordinary transcendental qualities absent in Lord Nārāyaṇa. These four qualities are: (1) wonderful pastimes that are compared to an ocean; (2) association in the circle of supreme devotees in conjugal love (the gopīs); (3) Lord Kṛṣṇa's playing on the flute whose vibration attracts the three worlds; (4) Lord Kṛṣṇa's extraordinary beauty, which surpasses the beauty of the three worlds. Lord Kṛṣṇa's beauty is unequaled and unsurpassed.
