(Bṛhad Bhāgavatāmṛta: 2.5.104–105)“By virtue of its own qualities, that abode of Nanda—even one tree of which can produce with any aspect of itself all the desired objects of any seeker, and by the sidelong glance of which the magnificence of the world exists—has become the play-land of she of great magnificence [viz., Mahālakṣmī], the Mistress of the household of the Lord of Vaikuṇṭha. Still, Īśa [viz., Śrī Kṛsṇa] shall not always manifest that particular splendor (aiśvarya) on account of obstruction to his own sporting [i.e., if he were to do so, and thus he doesn’t manifest it always but rather only when doing so is suitable].”

(Gopāla-campū: 2.37.38)“That the sweet sound of which
Is victorious over spirituous liquor,
That by [just] pronunciation of the phonemes of which
The pride of those conversant in the Vedas and others
Is thoroughly defeated,
That the flawless ornaments within which
Are the rasas and bhāvas arising from thirst for the sake of Kṛṣṇa—
Certainly even [such] speech here [i.e., in Goloka]
Is [fit to be considered] singing
[And thus how marvelous is the actual singing here?].” - Read on →: saptāham evācyuta-hasta-padmake

(Sādhanāmṛta-candrikā: 1.34)“Acting like a bee for an entire week
Atop the lotus of Acyuta’s hand,
And serving in full with fruits, roots, and hollows
Hari along with his dear ones—
Unto him,
Govardhana,
With the head I offer obeisance.” - Read on →: eka aneka eka puṇa rājasi
