Translation by U.Ve. Dr. V.N. Vedanta Desikan Swamin:

Oh Paaduka! Krishna took as many physical forms as there were gopa

damsels (sixteen thousand in one reckoning), to please them all as

they wanted. As He took so many forms, You too took a different

number- (double His number) as needed!

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):

 

SlOkam 798

 

1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! When Lord KrishNa as a

grahsthA fulfilled the affection of each of the Sixteen thousand plus

wives , He took Sixteen thousand plus identical forms to be with each

of them at their houses. At that time, You multiplied two fold than

His sixteen thousand plus forms to cover each of the two feet of Your

Lord. Therefore , I consider Your glories to be larger in number than

that of Your Lord.

 

2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam:During KrishNAvathAram , our Lord

married sixteen thousand and one hundred kanyAs and to please every

one of them, He took different roopams for each one of them and lived

as a grahasthA in their homes.At that time , You took on 32,200

roopams to fit both of His sacred feet at each of His houses.

 

3) Once upon a time (yugapadh) , our Lord took the avathAram

of KrishNa ( Yadhupathi) and to create equal love (Tulya rAgam)

for every one of the 16,100 kanyAs whom He wedded , He took on

that many roopams (roopa bhEdhAn adhichakrE).You took on double

that form (sannivEsam) to fit all of those 16,100 forms of Your

Lord...(V.S).
