Poṣaṇa· The Lord's protectionPure Love Moves the Supreme Lord
“Thus Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the Lord of all masters of mystic yoga, saw to the successful execution of this great sacrifice on behalf of King Yudhiṣṭhira. Afterwards, the Lord stayed with His intimate friends for a few months at their earnest request.”
What the purport teaches
- Śrī Kṛṣṇa is the master of all masters of mystic yoga, including Lord Śiva.
- Yet He was controlled by King Yudhiṣṭhira’s pure love and personally ensured the successful completion of the King’s sacrifice.
- At His dear friends’ earnest request, the Lord agreed to stay in Indraprastha for a few more months. His supreme mastery did not prevent His loving closeness with them.
