Īśānukathā· The Lord and His devoteesShare Kṛṣṇa’s Purifying Glories
“O Lord, please give me Your leave. I will wander about the worlds, which are flooded with Your fame, loudly singing about Your pastimes, which purify the universe.”
What the purport teaches
- Even Nārada Muni was bewildered by Kṛṣṇa’s amazing pastimes as a human being.
- He asked the Lord’s permission to return to his usual service of traveling and preaching.
- Inspired by what he had seen, he wanted to widely sing the glories of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Śrī Kṛṣṇa. These pastimes purify the universe.
