BRS 2.1.44

The four divisions are: the first fifty qualities, the second five qualities, the third five qualities, and the last four qualities. For the four classes of qualities, examples are given by quoting authoritative statements. These are from scriptures, commentaries on the scriptures, testimonies of the great devotees following after the scriptures, and statements in agreement with those. These are of two types: those which astonish by presenting aspects of Kṛṣṇa as the Lord, and those which astonish by presenting Kṛṣṇa’s human pastimes. Even though Kṛṣṇa is God, His human pastimes also cause astonishment. Thus it is said: sthity-udbhavāntaṁ bhuvana-trayasya yaḥ samīhite ’nanta-guṇaḥ sva-līlayā na tasya citraṁ para-pakṣa-nigrahas tathāpi martyānuvidhasya varṇyate For Him who orchestrates the creation, maintenance and destruction of the three worlds and who possesses unlimited spiritual qualities, it is hardly amazing that He subdues an opposing party. Still, when the Lord does so, imitating human behavior, sages glorify His acts. SB 10.50.29 prapaṣcaṁ niṣprapaṣco ’pi viḍambayasi bhū-tale prapanna-janatānanda-sandohaṁ prathituṁ prabho My dear master, although You have nothing to do with material existence, You come to this earth and imitate material life just to expand the varieties of ecstatic enjoyment for Your surrendered devotees. SB 10.14.37 Similarly, the earth describes the qualities of the Lord in SB 1.16.27 quoted in the text earlier and as well there are examples such as paśya vindhya-girito ’pi gariṣṭhaṁ cited in BRS 2.1.61 in this text itself.
