Manvantara· The Manus and right dutyHonor Kṛṣṇa as the King of Kings
“My dear King, in Dvāpara-yuga men who desire to know the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is the supreme enjoyer, worship Him in the mood of honoring a great king, following the prescriptions of both the Vedas and tantras.”
What the purport teaches
- In Dvāpara-yuga, those who desire to know the Supreme Personality of Godhead worship Him as a great king. They follow the prescriptions of both the Vedas and tantras.
- At the Rājasūya sacrifice, the great souls elected Kṛṣṇa as the King of all kings, deserving of first worship. Such reverential worship is characteristic of Dvāpara-yuga.
- As human society deteriorates through successive ages, a strong desire to know the Absolute Truth remains the favorable quality mentioned for Dvāpara-yuga. For people in Kali-yuga, the purport urges firm attachment to the movement of Caitanya Mahāprabhu to become free from foolishness.
