The Lord Speaks Humbly of Himself
“The Lord replied, “I do not understand the meaning of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Indeed, I am not a suitable person to hear its meaning.”
What the purport teaches
- In reply to Vallabha Bhaṭṭa, the Lord said that He did not understand the meaning of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.
- He described Himself as unsuitable to hear its meaning.
- His humble reply leads into His next statement, where He speaks of simply trying to chant Kṛṣṇa’s holy name.
