Theme Analysis
The living entities inevitably experience profound astonishment when encountering the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Because Kṛṣṇa often appears and acts like an ordinary human being while simultaneously exhibiting supreme opulences, both devotees and non-devotees are struck with awe. This divine wonder manifests differently according to one's relationship with the Lord, ranging from the fearful anxiety of adversarial kings to the ecstatic, faltering devotion of pure souls engaged in loving service, or bhakti.
- The Inconceivable Nature of God: Even though the Supreme Lord presents Himself in human society, His activities remain entirely beyond mundane comprehension, causing people to ponder how the Absolute Truth could become an ordinary person.
- Devotional Ecstasy and Awe: Pure devotees experience overwhelming wonder that transcends ordinary friendship or reverence, often resulting in physical symptoms of ecstasy such as a faltering voice when confronted by His majestic expansions.
- The Bewilderment of the Demigods: Highly elevated celestial beings frequently find themselves bewildered and struck with awe upon witnessing the Lord's extraordinary pastimes and limitless expansions across the universe.
- Fearful Anticipation: Adversaries also spend their time deeply contemplating the Lord, though their absorption is rooted in anxiety and fear rather than purifying devotional love.
- Explore the synthesized essence of this category in this Vanipedia article: The Profound Experience of Wondering about Kṛṣṇa.

- He (Arjuna) was not, of course, afraid. He was affected by the wonders of the Supreme Lord. The immediate context is wonder; his natural loving friendship was overwhelmed by wonder, and thus he reacted in this way. BG 1972 purports
- He (King Kamsa) was always in anxiety, wondering when Krsna would come to kill him. That kind of thinking will not help us. One should be thinking of Krsna in devotional love. That is bhakti. BG 1972 purports
N

- One friend of Nanda, speaking about Krsna's auspicious bodily symptoms, said, "My dear King of the cowherds, I can find 32 auspicious symptoms on the body of your son! I am wondering how this boy could have taken his birth in the family of cowherd men"
W

- When King Mucukunda saw Krsna's magnificent features, he wondered about His identity, and with great humility he asked the Lord, "My dear Lord, may I inquire how it is that You happened to be in the cave of this mountain? Who are You"
- While Krsna was enjoying the company of the gopis in the rasa dance, the astonished demigods and their wives gathered in the sky. The moon, being afflicted with a sort of lust, began to watch the dance and became stunned with wonder
