गोविन्द भाष्य (श्रील बलदेव विद्याभूषण - अचिन्त्यभेदाभेद वेदान्त ब्रह्मसूत्र भाष्य सटीक)

prakṛtyā sahitaḥ śyāmaḥ pīta-vāsā jaṭā-dharaḥ dvi-bhujaḥ kuṇḍalī ratna- mālī dhīro dhanur-dharaḥ "Decorated with earrings and a jewel necklace, His complexion dark, His garments yellow, and the hair on His head matted, saintly, two-armed Lord Rāma is accompanied by Goddess Sītā." In the scriptures the Lord's form as Nṛsiṁha is described as having a frightening face and filling His enemies with fear. The word "bhīṣaṇa" (frightening), which occurs in Lord Nṛsiṁha's mantra, is explained in the following words of the Nṛsiṁha-tāpanī Upaniṣad: atha kasmād ucyate bhīṣaṇam iti. yasmād yasya rūpaṁ dṛṣṭvā sarve lokāḥ sarve devāḥ sarvāṇi bhūtāni bhītyā palāyante svayaṁ yataḥ kutaścin na bibheti. bhīṣāsmād vātaḥ pavate bhīṣodeti sūryaḥ. bhīṣāsmād agniś cendraś ca mṛtyur dhāvati pañcamaḥ. "Why is the Lord called frightening? Because when all the demigods, all the worlds, and all living entities see His form, they all flee in fear. He fears no one. Out of fear of Him the wind blows and the sun rises. Out of fear of Him fire, the moon, and death all flee." The Lord's form as Trivikrama is described in the Ṛg Veda (1.154.1): viṣṇor nu kaṁ vīryāṇi pravocaṁ yaḥ pārthivāni vimame rajāṁsi yo askambhayad uttaraṁ sadhasthaṁ vicakramāṇas tredhorugāya "How can I describe all the glories and powers of Lord Viṣṇu, who created the heaven and earth, established the worlds above and below, and with three steps passed over all the worlds?" Therefore, like the yajñas, which are different because they are offered to different demigods, so the method of worship to be offered to the different forms of the Supreme Lord are all different because the qualities of the Lord's different forms are different. Saṁśaya (doubt): Should the Śruti-śāstra's description of the Lord's qualities in one kind of worship be added in another kind of worship, or not?
