Srimad-Bhagavatam Canto 1 Chapter 11 Text 35-39

Text 35 sa eṣa nara-loke ’sminn avatīrṇaḥ sva-māyayā reme strī-ratna-kūṭastho bhagavān prākṛto yathā That Supreme Personality of Godhead, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, out of His causeless mercy, appeared on this planet by His internal potency and enjoyed Himself amongst competent women as if He were engaging in mundane affairs.

Seeking eternal service The Lord living as a householder amongst His competent wives, is never mundane. When the Lord appears on different lokas, or planets, or on this planet of human beings, He displays His transcendental pastimes just to attract the conditioned souls to become His eternal servitors, friends, parents and lovers respectively in the transcendental world, where the Lord eternally reciprocates such exchanges of service. Service is pervertedly represented in the material world and broken untimely, resulting in sad experience. When living being comes to his senses, however, he seeks after Brahman happiness, knowing it for certain that unlimited happiness, which he is seeking, is never attainable in the material world.

Text 36 uddāma-bhāva-piśunāmala-valgu-hāsa-  vrīḍāvaloka-nihato madano ’pi yāsām sammuhya cāpam ajahāt pramadottamās tā  yasyendriyaṁ vimathituṁ kuhakair na śekuḥ Although the queens’ beautiful smiles and furtive glances were all spotless and exciting, and although they could conquer Cupid himself by making him give up his bow in frustration, and although even the tolerant Śiva could fall victim to them, still, despite all their magical feats and attractions, they could not agitate the senses of the Lord.

Cupid’s frustration The path of salvation or the path going back to Godhead always forbids the association of women. It is clear herein that the feminine attractive features which can conquer Cupid or even the supermost tolerant Lord Śiva could not conquer the senses of the Lord. Cupid’s business is to invoke mundane lust. Cupid throws his arrow upon the living beings to make them mad after the opposite sex, whether the party is actually beautiful or not. Cupid, however, was himself captivated by the grave and exciting dealings of the goddesses of fortune, and he voluntarily gave up his bow and arrow in a spirit of frustration. Yet they could not disturb the transcendental senses of the Lord. This is because the Lord is all-perfect ātmārāma, or self-sufficient.

Text 37-39 tam ayaṁ manyate loko hy asaṅgam api saṅginam ātmaupamyena manujaṁ vyāpṛṇvānaṁ yato ’budhaḥ etad īśanam īśasya prakṛti-stho ’pi tad-guṇaiḥ na yujyate sadātma-sthair yathā buddhis tad-āśrayā taṁ menire ’balā mūḍhāḥ straiṇaṁ cānuvrataṁ rahaḥ apramāṇa-vido bhartur īśvaraṁ matayo yathā

Translation The common materialistic conditioned souls speculate that the Lord is one of them. Out of their ignorance they think that the Lord is affected by matter, although He is unattached. This is the divinity of the Personality of Godhead: He is not affected by the qualities of material nature, even though He is in contact with them. Similarly, the devotees who have taken shelter of the Lord do not become influenced by the material qualities. The simple and delicate women truly thought that Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, their beloved husband, followed them and was dominated by them. They were unaware of the extent of the glories of their husband, as the atheists are unaware of Him as the supreme controller.
