Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 4, Ch. 20]
fixed in his position. Thus when the King refused to accept any material benediction, the Lord appreciated that refusal very much. Another significant word in this verse is  acyuta , which means “infallible.” Although the Lord appears in this material world, he is never to be considered one of the conditioned souls, who are all fallible. When the Lord appears, he remains in His spiritual position, uncontaminated by the modes of material nature, and therefore in  Bhagavad-gītā  the Lord expresses the quality of His appearance as  ātma-māyayā , “performed by internal potency.” The Lord, being infallible, is not forced by material nature to take birth in this material world. He appears in order to reestablish the perfect order of religious principles and to vanquish the demoniac influence in human society.
