Īśānukathā· The Lord and His devoteesKṛṣṇa Personally Cares for His Devotees
“Pleased with both of them, the Supreme Personality of Godhead mounted His chariot, which Dāruka had brought, and traveled to Videha with a group of sages.”
What the purport teaches
- Pleased with both devotees, Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, traveled to Videha with sages on the chariot brought by Dāruka.
- Śrutadeva and Bahulāśva could not travel to Dvārakā because of their vows to worship their personal Deity regularly at home. Kṛṣṇa gladly went out of His way to give them His audience.
- Kṛṣṇa insisted that the sages ride with Him rather than exhaust themselves walking. On His order, they set aside their natural aversion to such an opulent conveyance.
