Skandham-5. Chapter-2. Slokam-11 :

Agnidhra then praised Purvacitti's raised breasts. He said: My dear
brahmana your waist is very thin, yet with great difficulty you are carefully
carrying two horns, to which my eyes have become attracted. What is filling
those two beautiful horns? You seem to have spread fragrant red powder upon
them, powder that is like the rising morning sun. O most fortunate one, I beg to
inquire where you have gotten this fragrant powder that is perfuming my
asrama, my place of residence.
Agnidhra appreciated Purvacitti's raised breasts. After seeing the girl's
breasts, he became almost mad. Nevertheless, he could not recognize whether
Purvacitti was a boy or a girl, for as a result of his austerity, he saw no
distinction between the two. He therefore addressed her with the word dvija,
"O brahmana." Yet why should a dvija, a brahmana boy, have horns on his
chest? Because the boy's waist was thin, Agnidhra thought, he was carrying the
horns with great difficulty. and therefore they must be filled with something
very valuable. Otherwise why would he carry them? When a woman's waist is
thin and her breasts are full, she looks very attractive. Agnidhra, his eyes
attracted, contemplated the heavy breasts on the girl's thin body and imagined
how her back must sustain them. Agnidhra imagined that her raised breasts
were two horns she had covered with cloth so that others would not see the
valuables within them. Agnidhra, however, was very anxious to see them.
Therefore he requested, "Please uncover them so that I can see what you are
carrying. Rest assured that I shall not take it away. If you feel an
inconvenience in removing the covering, I can help you; I myself can uncover
them to see what valuable things those raised horns contain." He was also
surprised to see the red dust of perfumed kunkuma spread over her breasts.

 =============================================================== ============================================================== Wednesday, March 02,  2022. 06:00. Chapter-3 : Kapila’s Instructions to Devahuti - 7. ================================================================ At the beginning of the attempt of spiritual practice, the sense organs feel a deficiency and an incapacity of an incomparable nature. There is a dark cloud hanging in front of us, and light will not be there in the earlier stages. The reason for the darkness in front of us—the opposition of ugliness and terror at the very outset—is due to a reaction set up by the dissatisfied senses which have not been given their fill by the objects of sense. The poison, therefore, is created by a circumstance of repulsion between the sense organs and the actual things which exist in the world. That repulsion has to gradually cease by facing it completely. We have to face that condition. Our attempt at spiritual practice is no

A Summary of the Srimad Bhagavata Mahapuranam-3.7.

Chapter-3: Kapila’s Instructions to Devahuti - 7. The reason is that in our meditations we require a total absorption of ourselves in God. It is not enough if only our intellect is illumined by the clarity of perception of the omnipotence of God; it is also necessary that other faculties in us, such as feeling and aesthetic sense, should also be satisfied. Usually, the mind of man cannot conceive such a completeness of God. Can God give us everything? It is said that He can. But our frailty does not feel itself competent to accept this possibility of everything being possible for God at all times, because we do not believe that He is a mother. We always believe that He is a judge whose dispensation can be for or against. But a mother’s judgment is not against, it is always for. In a similar manner, in the Bhagavadgita and also in the Srimad Bhagavata, Bhagavan says, “Whoever loves Me, I shall love him abundantly.” Many characteristics of God are involved in this concept.
