लोकोत्तरपदार्थानां प्रभावः कोऽप्यनर्गलः ।
रतिं तद्विषयं चासौ भासयेत्तूर्णमेकदा ॥
lokottara-padārthānāṁ prabhāvaḥ ko’py anargalaḥ |
ratiṁ tad-viṣayaṁ cāsau bhāsayet tūrṇam ekadā ||
(Ujjvala-nīlamaṇi: 14.16)
“Otherworldly objects have extraordinary unchecked potency, and one [such object] can immediately at once manifest rati [for Śrī Kṛṣṇa] and the object thereof [i.e., Śrī Kṛṣṇa himself, the object of rati].”
Commentary
Śrī Jīvapāda comments that since even otherworldly objects like jewels, mantras, and herbs have unchecked extraordinary potency, objects related to Śrī Kṛṣṇa certainly do so all the more (lokottara-padārthānāṁ maṇi-mantra-mahauṣadhīnām api, kim uta Śrī-Kṛṣṇa-sambandhinām ity arthaḥ). Śrī Cakravartipāda takes it that “otherworldly objects” (lokottara-padārthāḥ) refers to specifically supramundane objects related to Śrī Kṛṣṇa that are tremendously astonishing (lokottara-padārthānāṁ mahācamatkāravatām aprākṛta-vastūnāṁ Śrī-Kṛṣṇa-sambandhināṁ).
