=== SB Canto 3===

'''With a laugh full of deep significance, the worshipful Brahmā then evolved by his own loveliness'''

'''[[Vanisource:SB 3.20.38|SB 3.20.38, Translation]]: With a laugh full of deep significance, the worshipful Brahmā then evolved by his own loveliness, which seemed to enjoy itself by itself, the hosts of Gandharvas and Apsarās.
'''

=== SB Canto 4===

'''I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, who is adept at playing on His flute, whose eyes are blooming like lotus petals, whose head is bedecked with peacock feathers, whose beauty is tinged with the hue of blue clouds, and whose unique loveliness charms millions of Cupids'''

'''[[Vanisource:SB 4.24.44|SB 4.24.44, Purport]]:''' Brahma-saṁhitā (5.30):

: veṇuṁ kvaṇantam aravinda-dalāyatākṣaṁ
: barhāvataṁsam asitāmbuda-sundarāṅgam
: kandarpa-koṭi-kamanīya-viśeṣa-śobhaṁ
: govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi

"I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, who is adept at playing on His flute, whose eyes are blooming like lotus petals, whose head is bedecked with peacock feathers, whose beauty is tinged with the hue of blue clouds, and whose unique loveliness charms millions of Cupids." Thus Lord Śiva's desire is to see the Supreme Personality of Godhead as He is described in this way-that is, he wants to see Him as He appears to the bhāgavatas, the devotees. The conclusion is that Lord Śiva wants to see Him in complete perfection and not in the impersonalist or voidist way. Although the Lord is one in His various forms (advaitam acyutam anādim), still His form as the young enjoyer of the gopīs and companion of the cowherd boys (kiśora-mūrti) is the most perfect form. Thus Vaiṣṇavas accept the form of the Lord in His Vṛndāvana pastimes as the chief form.

=== SB Cantos 10.14 to 12 (Translations Only) ===

'''With their eyes they always drink the nectar of Lord Kṛṣṇa's form, which is the essence of loveliness and is not to be equaled or surpassed. That loveliness is the only abode of beauty, fame and opulence'''

'''[[Vanisource:SB 10.44.14|SB 10.44.14, Translation]]: What austerities must the gopīs have performed! With their eyes they always drink the nectar of Lord Kṛṣṇa's form, which is the essence of loveliness and is not to be equaled or surpassed. That loveliness is the only abode of beauty, fame and opulence. It is self-perfect, ever fresh and extremely rare.

== Sri Caitanya-caritamrta ==

=== CC Adi-lila ===

'''With their eyes they always drink the nectar of the form of Lord Kṛṣṇa, which is the essence of loveliness and is not to be equaled or surpassed'''

'''[[Vanisource:CC Adi 4.156|CC Adi 4.156, Translation]]: [The women of Mathurā said:] “What austerities must the gopīs have performed? With their eyes they always drink the nectar of the form of Lord Kṛṣṇa, which is the essence of loveliness and is not to be equaled or surpassed. That loveliness is the only abode of beauty, fame and opulence. It is self-perfect, ever fresh and extremely rare.”
'''

=== CC Madhya-lila===

'''That loveliness is the only abode of beauty, fame and opulence. It is self-perfect, ever fresh and unique'''

'''[[Vanisource:CC Madhya 21.112|CC Madhya 21.112, Translation]]: “‘What austerities must the gopīs have performed? With their eyes they always drink the nectar of the form of Lord Kṛṣṇa, which is the essence of loveliness and is not to be equaled or surpassed. That loveliness is the only abode of beauty, fame and opulence. It is self-perfect, ever fresh and unique.’
'''

=== CC Antya-lila ===

'''O dearly beautiful one, the artistic loveliness of Your picture is now impressed within My mind'''

'''[[Vanisource:CC Antya 1.144|CC Antya 1.144, Translation]]: “‘“O dearly beautiful one, the artistic loveliness of Your picture is now impressed within My mind. Since You are now living within My mind, wherever I wish to run because I am agitated by impressions of You, I find that You, O My friend, are blocking My way.”’
'''

== Other Books by Srila Prabhupada ==

=== Renunciation Through Wisdom ===

'''His unique loveliness charming millions of cupids'''

'''[[Vanisource:RTW 2.6|Renunciation Through Wisdom, 2.6]]:''' I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, who is adept at playing on His flute, with blooming eyes like lotus petals, with head bedecked with peacock's feather, with the figure of beauty tinged with the hue of blue clouds, and His unique loveliness charming millions of cupids.
Those who are committing sins like illicit sex, fault-finding, and unjustified violence rarely attain spiritual knowledge or realization. Sinful activities deepen the dark gloom of ignorance, while pious activities bring the light of transcendental knowledge into one's life. This knowledge culminates in realization of Kṛṣṇa. However, simply performing pious activities does not make one eligible for God-realization.
