Kubera Paṇḍita Ati Karaṣita

Gazing at his newborn son’s face, Kuvera Paṇḍita was delighted. As he performed the jāta-karma and other religious ceremonies, the joy in his heart grew more and more.

That son had all auspicious features. His complexion was the color of gold. He was splendid like a golden lotus. His graceful arms reached to His knees. The hearts of the world’s people yearned to attain Him.

His navel was very deep. His handsomeness was sublime. His eyes defeated the lotus flowers. His reddish feet defeat how many mirrors, how many moonstone jewels?

Seeing His charming features, features marked with the signs of an exalted personality, everyone was filled with wonder. Every person thought, “This person will deliver all the worlds.”

Gazing at the newborn infant’s face, the village ladies felt themselves float in an ocean of bliss. Their hearts were not peaceful. Again and again they came to look. They gazed with unblinking eyes.

Outside of the mother’s presence, the ladies said amongst themselves, “To have a son like this she must have come to highest summit of good fortune. To whom can we compare her? Who is her equal in this world?”

Their voices choked in ecstasy, all the ladies spoke in this way. They knew that this child would deliver all the worlds. Vaiṣṇava dāsa yearns to attain the association of Lord Advaita.
