TRANSLATION
"Because Krishna has four extraordinary qualities not possessed by Lord Nārāyana, the goddess of fortune, Lakshmī, always desires His company.
PURPORT
Lord Nārāyana has sixty transcendental qualities. Over and above these, Krishna has four extraordinary transcendental qualities absent in Lord Nārāyana. These four qualities are (1) His wonderful pastimes, which are compared to an ocean, (2) His association in the circle of the supreme devotees in conjugal love (the gopīs), (3) His playing on the flute, whose vibration attracts the three worlds, and (4) His extraordinary beauty, which surpasses the beauty of the three worlds. Lord Krishna's beauty is unequaled and unsurpassed.
