Kṛṣṇa Is the Shelter of Liberation
“All kinds of liberation exist under the feet of the Supreme Personality of Godhead; therefore He is known as mukti-pada. According to another meaning, mukti is the ninth subject, and the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the shelter of liberation.
What the purport teaches
- All kinds of liberation reside at the lotus feet of Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Therefore He may be called mukti-pada, the shelter of liberation.
- Śrī Kṛṣṇa is also called Mukunda. He gives transcendental bliss by offering all kinds of mukti.
- The purport describes different kinds of mukti in the Ninth Canto of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. It identifies the Tenth Canto as the center of these discussions because its exclusive subject is Śrī Kṛṣṇa.
