Īśānukathā· The Lord and His devoteesUnderstand Kṛṣṇa and Surrender Without Doubt
“Nārada Muni, being worshiped by Kṛṣṇa and Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira, bade them farewell and went away. Yudhiṣṭhira Mahārāja, having heard that Kṛṣṇa, his cousin, is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, was struck with wonder.”
What the purport teaches
- After being worshiped by Kṛṣṇa and Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira, Nārada Muni departed. Yudhiṣṭhira remained struck with wonder that his cousin was the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
- After hearing this conversation, one should give up doubts about Kṛṣṇa’s being the Supreme Personality of Godhead. One should understand Him without doubt or defect and surrender at His lotus feet.
- Even hearing all the Vedas does not mean that an ordinary person will surrender. A fortunate person comes to this conclusion, although it may be after many, many births.
