SB 3.2.21-25

 

Bhagavān (Lord) Śrīkṛṣṇa Himself is the supreme ruler of the three worlds. There is no one equal to Him, who could be greater than Him? He is always fully satisfied by His self-established opulence. Countless Lokapālas (world protectors) like Indra bring various offerings and bow with the fronts of their crowns to the footstool of His feet. ॥ 21 ॥

Viduraji! The same Bhagavān Śrīkṛṣṇa would stand before Ugrasena seated on the royal throne and request, "Your Majesty! Please hear our petition." Remembering this servant-like attitude of His makes the hearts of servants like us extremely distressed. ॥ 22 ॥

The sinful Pūtanā, having smeared deadly poison on her breasts, nursed Śrīkṛṣṇa with the intention of killing Him; even to her, the Lord granted that supreme state which should be given to a wet nurse. Who else is as merciful as Bhagavān Śrīkṛṣṇa, whose shelter we should seek? ॥ 23 ॥

I consider even the Asuras (demons) to be devotees of the Lord; because due to their anger born of enmity, their minds were always fixed on Śrīkṛṣṇa, and in the battlefield, they would see Garuḍa swooping down carrying the Lord wielding the Sudarśana cakra (disc) on his shoulders. ॥ 24 ॥

At the request of Brahmā, to remove the burden of the earth and make her happy, the Lord took avatar (incarnation) in Kaṃsa's prison as the son of Vasudeva and Devakī. ॥ 25 ॥
