English Translation
Wearing divine garlands and garments, anointed with divine fragrances — full of all wonders, infinite, with faces in every direction.
Commentary (टीका)
The description continues with sensory richness — divine garlands, celestial garments, and heavenly fragrances. The form is 'anantam' (infinite) and 'vishvato-mukham' (facing all directions), suggesting transcendence of space.
