“lagne yata dekhi ei bālaka-mahimā rājā hena, vākye tāṅre dite nāri sīmā || 13 ||

(13) “The qualities I see in this child’s horoscope are beyond those of a king, if fact, they are beyond all description.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
While calculating the lagnas, Nīlāmbara Cakravartī could understand the child’s wonderful qualities. The words rājā hena mean “as good as a king” or “topmost.” Actually no one can properly describe the qualities of this child.
