Poṣaṇa· The Lord's protectionHonor the Sages Who Accompany Kṛṣṇa
“The Supreme Lord said: My dear brāhmaṇa, you should know that these great sages have come here just to bless you. They travel throughout the worlds with Me, purifying them with the dust of their feet.”
What the purport teaches
- Kṛṣṇa tells Śrutadeva that the great sages have come specifically to bless him.
- These sages travel throughout the worlds with the Lord, purifying them with the dust of their feet.
- Kṛṣṇa thought Śrutadeva had shown too much reverence to Him and not enough to the sages. He therefore directed Śrutadeva’s attention toward them.
