Poṣaṇa· The Lord's protectionKṛṣṇa Knows How to Save His Devotees
“Now, what was to be done? How could both the killing of this demon and the saving of the devotees be performed simultaneously? Kṛṣṇa, being unlimitedly potent, decided to wait for an intelligent means by which He could simultaneously save the boys and kill the demon. Then He entered the mouth of Aghāsura.”
What the purport teaches
- Kṛṣṇa considered how to save the devotees and kill the demon at the same time.
- He is known as ananta-vīrya-sarvajña because everything is known to Him. Finding a means to accomplish both tasks was not difficult for Him.
