Īśānukathā· The Lord and His devoteesEven Exalted Demigods Seek the Lord
“The most exalted demigods in the three worlds are certainly anxious to seek You out, O Lord, now that You have hidden Yourself among the Yadu dynasty. Thus the unborn sun-god has come to see You here.”
What the purport teaches
- The residents declared that the most exalted demigods in the three worlds were anxious to seek Kṛṣṇa out.
- They spoke of the Lord as having hidden Himself among the Yadu dynasty.
- They therefore understood the visitor to be the unborn sun-god, coming to see Kṛṣṇa.

If even exalted demigods are eager to seek Kṛṣṇa, how eager am I to give Him my attention?
