"Greatness and preeminence are here referred to as ‘divine’;
and divinity means radiating upon Kṛṣṇa's limbs as well. // 1.13.39
Therefore, these ornaments are eternal, residing in the pool of the Yamunā.
Among them, however, the jewel named Kaustubha shines upon Kṛṣṇa
like the full moon forever among the stars upon the eastern mountain. // 1.13.40
And that he was addressed as ‘Lord of the Universe’ as well as ‘He who bears the emblem of Garuḍa’—
that is not a wonder, nor is it an [unwonted] conduct, for it is renowned in Dvārakā. // 1.13.41
For that son of Kadrū, who holds various divine powers,
his path would be the path of the gods [the sky]—so it is understood by reasoning.
Any other way would cause harm to living beings; how could that be agreeable to Kṛṣṇa? // 1.13.42
When there was consideration of his water-pastimes and the touch of Agharipu,
then the Yamunā became like nectar; so it is understood. // 1.13.43
That Kṛṣṇa had dry clothes was due to his being carried by Kāliya;
that sudden sight occurred because he was surrounded by the ranks of serpents.
Therefore, what is stated beginning with ‘Kṛṣṇa [emerged] from the pool’ is shown to be fitting." // 1.13.44
