The Descendants of King Priyavrata
73
they claim to be the descendants of Rṣabhadeva. Those who are Vaiṣṇavas carefully avoid their company because they are ignorant of the path of the  Vedas . In  Bhagavad-gītā  (15.15) Kṛṣṇa says,  vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyaḥ : “The real purpose of the  Vedas  is to understand Me.” This is the injunction of all Vedic literatures. One who does not know the greatness of Lord Kṛṣṇa cannot be accepted as an Āryan. Lord Buddha, an incarnation of Lord Kṛṣṇa, adopted a particular means to propagate the philosophy of  bhāgavata-dharma . He preached almost exclusively among atheists. Atheists do not want any God, and Lord Buddha therefore said that there is no God, but he adopted the means to instruct his followers for their benefit. Therefore he preached in a duplicitous way, saying that there is no God. Nonetheless, he himself was an incarnation of God.
