Poṣaṇa· The Lord's protection

Kṛṣṇa Provides at the Suitable Time

“The Lord having demonstrated His supremacy, at suitable times He showered down all desirable things upon the brāhmaṇas and His other subjects, just as Indra pours down his rain.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.89.64, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, had demonstrated His supremacy. He then showered desirable things upon His subjects.
  • His gifts went to the brāhmaṇas and His other subjects. The verse compares His generous provision to Indra pouring down rain.
  • The Lord gave these desirable things at suitable times. His provision showed both generosity and care in its timing.
