She had asked K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a to open His mouth wide just to see whether He had eaten dirt. But when K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a opened His mouth, she saw not only the entire earth but also many other planets within His mouth. This caused a standing up of the hair on her body.<\/p>\n<p>The standing up of hair on the body resulting from jubilation is described in the Tenth Canto, thirtieth chapter, verse 10 of \u015ar\u012bmad-Bh\u0101gavatam in connection with the gop\u012bs engaged in the r\u0101sa dance. During this r\u0101sa dance K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a disappeared all of a sudden with R\u0101dh\u0101r\u0101\u1e47\u012b, and the gop\u012bs began to search Him out. At that time they addressed the earth and said, \u201cDear earthly planet, how many austerities and penances you must have undergone to have the lotus feet of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a always touching your surface. I think that you must be very jubilant, because the trees and plants, which are just like hairs on your body, are standing up so gloriously. May we ask when you first got these symptoms? Have you been enjoying this jubilation since you were touched by the incarnation V\u0101mana or since you were delivered by the incarnation Var\u0101ha?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a would sometimes perform mock fighting along with the cowherd boys. When K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a blew His horn in this mock fighting, \u015ar\u012bd\u0101m\u0101, who was on the opposing side, felt his bodily hairs stand up. Similarly, when Arjuna saw K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a in His gigantic universal form, there was a standing of the hairs on his body.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>STANDING OF THE HAIRS ON THE BODY The standing up of hair on the body was manifested when mother Ya\u015bod\u0101 found within K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a\u2019s mouth all of the universal planetary systems.
