"The word <i>amṛta-bhūḥ</i> is significant in this verse. The Lord sometimes appears like an ordinary child taking birth, but this does not mean that He is subject to birth, death or old age. One must be very intelligent to understand the appearance and activities of the Supreme Lord in His incarnations. This is confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (4.9): <i>janma karma ca me divyam evaṁ yo vetti tattvataḥ.</i> One should try to understand that the Lord's appearance and disappearance and His activities are all <i>divyam,</i> or transcendental. The Lord has nothing to do with material activities. One who understands the appearance, disappearance and activities of the Lord is immediately liberated. After giving up his body, he never again has to accept a material body, but is transferred to the spiritual world (<i>tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti mām eti so 'rjuna</i>)."

"purport": [
"Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura, an expert astrologer, explains the word <i>nakṣatra-tārādyāḥ.</i> The word <i>nakṣatra</i> means \"the stars,\" the word <i>tāra</i> in this context refers to the planets, and <i>ādyāḥ</i> means \"the first one specifically mentioned.\" Among the planets, the first is Sūrya, the sun, not the moon. Therefore, according to the Vedic version, the modern astronomer's proposition that the moon is nearest to the earth should not be accepted. The chronological order in which people all over the world refer to the days of the week—Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday—corresponds to the Vedic order of the planets and thus circumstantiates the Vedic version. Apart from this, when the Lord appeared the planets and stars became situated very auspiciously, according to astrological calculations, to celebrate the birth of the Lord."

"purport": [
"The word <i>naṭaḥ</i> is significant. An actor changes dress to play different parts, but is always the same man. Similarly, as described in the <i>Brahma-saṁhitā</i> (5.33, 39), the Lord assumes many thousands and millions of forms (<i>advaitam acyutam anādim ananta-rūpam ādyaṁ purāṇa-puruṣam</i>). He is always present with innumerable incarnations (<i>rāmādi-mūrtiṣu kalā-niyamena tiṣṭhan nānāvatāram akarod bhuvaneṣu kintu</i>). Nonetheless, although He appears in various incarnations, they are not different from one another. He is the same person, with the same potency, the same eternity and the same spiritual existence, but He can simultaneously assume various forms. When Vāmanadeva appeared from the womb of His mother, He appeared in the form of Nārāyaṇa, with four hands equipped with the necessary symbolic weapons, and then immediately transformed Himself into a <i>brahmacārī</i> (<i>vaṭu</i>). This means that His body is not material. One who thinks that the Supreme Lord assumes a material body is not intelligent. He has to learn more about the Lord's position. As confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (4.9), <i>janma karma ca me divyam evaṁ yo vetti tattvataḥ.</i> One has to understand the transcendental appearance of the Lord in His original transcendental body (<i>sac-cid-ānanda-vigraha</i>)."

The water of the Ganges is sanctified because it emanates from the toe of Lord Viṣṇu. Bali Mahārāja washed the lotus feet of Vāmanadeva, and the water with which he did so became equal to the Ganges.
