Īśānukathā· The Lord and His devoteesRecognize Ugrasena’s Authority
“King Ugrasena, the lord of the Bhojas, Vṛṣṇis and Andhakas, is not fit to command, when Indra and other planetary rulers obey his orders?
What the purport teaches
- King Ugrasena is the lord of the Bhojas, Vṛṣṇis and Andhakas.
- Indra and other planetary rulers obey his orders.
- The question challenges the claim that Ugrasena is unfit to command. Even planetary rulers recognize his authority.

Pause before dismissing someone today, and consider one reason to respect their position.
Ask yourself
Do I dismiss someone’s authority without considering why others respect it?

From Canto 10, chapter 14 onward, the translation and purports were completed by Śrīla Prabhupāda's disciples after his departure, and published by the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust.
