Poṣaṇa· The Lord's protectionKṛṣṇa Delights in Honoring Pure Devotees
“The Supreme Lord said: My dear lord, for your pleasure We must certainly do what you have requested of Us. I fully agree with your conclusion.”
What the purport teaches
- Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, agrees with Lord Śiva’s request and wishes to please him.
- All living beings are part and parcel of the Lord and qualitatively one with Him. Lord Śiva is an especially powerful, pure entity possessing many of the Supreme Lord’s qualities.
- The Lord happily shares some of His potency and opulence with pure living beings. He delights in glorifying those who are powerful in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, and thus addresses Śiva as bhagavān.
