Lord's Features!

Verse 1.8.22: (Kasi Pr)
* Kunti is continuing to offer her obeisances to the Lord. The Lord's features are explained in this verse.
* Especially, SP comments on the "Pankajanabhi" name of the Lord. Like this, all the names of the Lord are coming from His pastimes.
* Listening to this, even devotees as well as the atmarama;s (SB 1.7.10) get pleased with the Lord's transcendental qualities.
* So this verse says that even persons who are self-satisfied, as soon as they see the Lord or hear about Him, they get completely attracted. Eg: 4 Kumaras, Sukadeva Goswami...
* Even Brahma-samhita very nicely describes the attractive qualities of the Lord.
* Charioteer of Krishna, Daruka as soon as he sees the Lord, his eyes are filled with ecstacy. But since this is causing trouble to the service, such ecstacy is condemned for these selfless devotees.
* Service only attracts Krishna!
* Another example: Hanuman flying over the ocean. Mount Mainaka comes out of the ocean to help give some rest to Hanuman. But Hanumanji is so eager to serve Lord Rama, he does not want to take any rest.
So through this kind of service, we can obtain the mercy of the Lord.
* SB 11.12.29 - After many births we have attained this human form, therefore death comes we should engage in the service of the Supreme Lord.
* Srimati Kunti is this spontaneously glorifying the Supreme Lord, and it is eternalized in the form of Mahabharata. We should follow such foot steps of Queen Kunti in service of the Supreme Lord.
