Question: In Srimad Bhagavatam, 3.8.12, translation it says, “He saw His transcendental body as bluish.” Since it is capitalized H doesn’t it mean Vishnu? In the purport, it says, “Due to this polluted mentality and due to material sins, the aggregate combination of living entities appeared to be bluish.” Isn’t Vishnu bluish always?
Answer by Romapada Swami: Yes, Vishnu is always bluish, transcendentally bluish. The purport indicates that the aggregate living entities appeared bluish, also. This material coloration was due to their fruitive activities (as in the state of ignorance, thus bluish).
