Poṣaṇa· The Lord's protectionApproach the Supreme Lord Directly
“The great saint Nārada Muni continued: When the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the spiritual master of everyone, thus reassured all the demigods living in the heavenly planets, they offered their respectful obeisances unto Him and returned, confident that the demon Hiraṇyakaśipu was now practically dead.”
What the purport teaches
- The Supreme Personality of Godhead is the spiritual master of everyone. Reassured by Him, the demigods offered obeisances and returned without anxiety.
- Even the demigods approach the Supreme Lord when they need relief. There is no need to approach them separately for the fulfillment of desires.
- Whether one has many desires, no desires or a desire for liberation, one should worship Lord Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The intelligent path is transcendental loving service to Him.
