Ūti· What drives us to actKṛṣṇa Deserves Opulent Worship
“Yayāti cursed the dynasty of these Yādavas, and ever since then they have been ostracized by honest men and addicted to liquor. How, then, does Kṛṣṇa deserve to be worshiped?”
What the purport teaches
- Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī explains that Śiśupāla continued unintentionally glorifying Kṛṣṇa and His Yadu dynasty.
- In this inner meaning, great saints relieved the Yadus of Yayāti’s curse, and persons such as Kārtavīrya raised them to royal sovereignty. They became absorbed in protecting the earth.
- The inner meaning rejects useless worship, not Kṛṣṇa’s worthiness. As chief of the Yadus, Kṛṣṇa deserves opulent worship.
