bhūyas tatrāpi so ’drākṣīt
stūyamānam ahīśvaram
siddha-cāraṇa-gandharvair
asurair nata-kandharaiḥ

sahasra-śirasaṁ devaṁ
sahasra-phaṇa-maulinam
nīlāmbaraṁ visa-śvetaṁ
śṛṅgaiḥ śvetam iva sthitam

 

TRANSLATION
There Akrūra now saw Ananta Śeṣa, the Lord of the serpents, receiving praise from Siddhas, Cāraṇas, Gandharvas and demons, who all had their heads bowed. The Personality of Godhead whom Akrūra saw had thousands of heads, thousands of hoods and thousands of helmets. His blue garment and His fair complexion, as white as the filaments of a lotus stem, made Him appear like white Kailāsa Mountain with its many peaks.
