Īśānukathā· The Lord and His devoteesReject Proud Claims of Superiority
“We Vṛṣṇis enjoy only whatever small parcel of land the Kurus allow us? And we are indeed shoes, whereas the Kurus are the head?
What the purport teaches
- The speaker challenges the claim that the Vṛṣṇis enjoy only a small parcel of land granted by the Kurus.
- He also challenges the comparison that makes the Vṛṣṇis shoes and the Kurus the head.
- These questions reject the Kurus’ claim to a superior position; they do not accept their insulting comparison.

Avoid one comparison today that would raise your status by belittling someone else.
Ask yourself
Do I ever make myself seem important by treating others as beneath me?
Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
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.
