Īśānukathā· The Lord and His devoteesHearing About Kṛṣṇa Attracts the Mind
“The Lord, whom countless songs glorify in countless ways, forcibly attracts the minds of all women who simply hear about Him. What to speak, then, of those women who see Him directly?”
What the purport teaches
- Countless songs glorify Lord Kṛṣṇa in countless ways.
- Simply hearing about Him powerfully attracts the minds of women. The verse emphasizes the strength of His attraction through hearing alone.
- If hearing about Him has such power, the attraction felt by women who see Him directly is greater still.
