All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Please forgive in advance my audacity in partially answering you, my superior, although I am not learned. Your servant, Yogindra dasa: Garbhodakasayi Vishnu's rasa is of the kind that top-most devotees relish hearing about: "Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti offers his good counsel to the interested Vaisnavas when he says that they should not be interested in hearing only about the Lord's activities (like rasa-lila) but must be keenly interested in His pastimes in His feature of the purusavataras in connection with srsti-tattva, creational functions, following the example of Maharaja Pariksit, the ideal disciple, and Sukadeva Goswami, the ideal spiritual master."
