ye prabhu dekhite sarva deve kāmya kare

se prabhu nācaye sarva-gaṇera gocare

All the demigods desire to see the Lord who was now dancing before the eyes of one and all.

Antya-khaṇḍa Chapter 3 Texts 418-419

brahmaloka-śivaloka-ādi yata loka

ye sukhera kaṇā-leśe sabei aśoka

pṛthivīte kṛṣṇa prakāśila nyāsi-veśe

Even a particle of the happiness distributed in this world by Kṛṣṇa in the dress of a sannyāsi freed the inhabitants of planets headed by Brahmaloka and Śivaloka from all distress and intoxicated even the best of the yogīs and sages.

Canto 10 Chapter 3 Texts 1-5

Thereafter, at the auspicious time for the appearance of the Lord, the entire universe was surcharged with all the qualities of goodness, beauty and peace. The constellation Rohiṇī appeared, as did stars like Aśvinī. The sun, the moon and the other stars and planets were very peaceful. All directions appeared extremely pleasing, and the beautiful stars twinkled in the cloudless sky. Decorated with towns, villages, mines and pasturing grounds, the earth seemed all-auspicious. The rivers flowed with clear water, and the lakes and vast reservoirs, full of lilies and lotuses, were extraordinarily beautiful. In the trees and green plants, full of flowers and leaves, pleasing to the eyes, birds like cuckoos and swarms of bees began chanting with sweet voices for the sake of the demigods. A pure breeze began to blow, pleasing the sense of touch and bearing the aroma of flowers, and when the brāhmaṇas engaging in ritualistic ceremonies ignited their fires according to Vedic principles, the fires burned steadily, undisturbed by the breeze. Thus when the birthless Lord Viṣṇu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, was about to appear, the saints and brāhmaṇas, who had always been disturbed by demons like Kaṁsa and his men, felt peace within the core of their hearts, and kettledrums simultaneously vibrated from the upper planetary system.

Canto 10 Chapter 13 Text 45

tamyāṁ tamovan naihāraṁ

khadyotārcir ivāhani

mahatītara-māyaiśyaṁ

nihanty ātmani yuñjataḥ

As the darkness of snow on a dark night and the light of a glowworm in the light of day have no value, the mystic power of an inferior person who tries to use it against a person of great power is unable to accomplish anything; instead, the power of that inferior person is diminished.

Antya-khaṇḍa Chapter 3 Text 403

viśārada-caraṇe āmāra namaskāra

sārvabhauma vācaspati nandana yāṅhara

TRANSLATION

I offer my humble obeisances at the feet of Viśārada, who had Sārvabhauma and Vācaspati as his sons.

Canto 10 Chapter 13 Text 35

vrajasya rāmaḥ premardher

vīkṣyautkaṇṭhyam anukṣaṇam

mukta-staneṣv apatyeṣv apy

ahetu-vid acintayat

Because of an increase of affection, the cows had constant attachment even to those calves that were grown up and had stopped sucking milk from their mothers. When Baladeva saw this attachment, He was unable to understand the reason for it, and thus He began to consider as follows.

Antya-khaṇḍa Chapter 3 Text 393

anata arbuda loka kare hari-dhvani

bāhira nā haya gupte āche nyāsi-maṇi

TRANSLATION

Unlimited millions of people chanted the name of Hari, yet the crest jewel of sannyāsīs stayed hidden and did not come out.

Canto 10 Chapter 13 Text 18

tataḥ kṛṣṇo mudaṁ kartuṁ

tan-mātṝṇāṁ ca kasya ca

ubhayāyitam ātmānaṁ

cakre viśva-kṛd īśvaraḥ

Thereafter, just to create pleasure both for Brahmā and for the mothers of the calves and cowherd boys, Kṛṣṇa, the creator of the entire cosmic manifestation, expanded Himself as calves and boys.
