Āśraya· The supreme shelterNo One Equals or Surpasses Kṛṣṇa
“Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa is the Lord of all kinds of threes and is independently supreme by achievement of all kinds of fortune. He is worshiped by the eternal maintainers of the creation, who offer Him the paraphernalia of worship by touching their millions of helmets to His feet.”
What the purport teaches
- Kṛṣṇa is mild and merciful, yet He is the Supreme Lord of the three worlds, the three qualities of material nature and the three puruṣas.
- He completely possesses wealth, strength, fame, beauty, knowledge and renunciation. No one is equal to or greater than Him.
- Even the transcendental controllers surrender to Him and offer worship. Everyone, wherever situated, has the duty to surrender completely unto Him.
