Īśānukathā· The Lord and His devoteesKṛṣṇa Is the Original Supreme Lord
“Śrī Nārada said: I offer my obeisances to Him of spotless fame, the Supreme Lord Kṛṣṇa, who manifests His all-attractive personal expansions so that all living beings can achieve liberation.”
What the purport teaches
- Nārada offers obeisances to Kṛṣṇa, whose fame is spotless. Kṛṣṇa is the original Personality of Godhead.
- Kṛṣṇa manifests all-attractive incarnations, including Śrī Nārāyaṇa Ṛṣi, to end the conditioned souls’ material life. Offering obeisances to Kṛṣṇa honors His other manifestations as well.
- Nārada’s prayer expresses the essential nectar of the Vedas’ prayers. Their conclusion is to meditate on Kṛṣṇa, relish loving exchanges with Him, and worship Him.
