72 Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead

activities are not possible for anyone in material existence. You are that
Supreme Personality of Godhead, now appearing to cause the birth and
death as well as liberation of the living entities, and You are full with all
Your plenary expansions. You can bestow on everyone all kinds of
benediction. O Lord! O source of all fortune and goodness, we offer our
respectful obeisances unto You. You are the all-pervading Supreme Per-
sonality of Godhead, the source of peace and the supreme person in the
dynasty of King Yadu. O Lord, our father known as Kuvera, the demigod,
is Your servant. Similarly, the great sage Narada is also Your servitor, and
by their grace only we have been able to see You personally. We therefore
pray that we may always be engaged in Your transcendental loving service
by speaking only about Your glories and hearing about Your transcenden-
tal activities. May our hands and other limbs le engaged in Your service and
our minds always be concentrated at Your lotus feet and our heads always
bowed down before the all-pervading universal form of Your Lordship.”

When the demigods Nalakivara and Manigriva finished their prayers,
the child, Lord Krsna, the master and proprietor of Gokula, bound to the
wooden grinding mortar by the ropes of Yasgoda, began to smile and said,
“It was already known to Me that My great devotee-sage Narada had
shown his causeless mercy by saving you from the abominable condition
of pride due to possessing extraordinary beauty and opulence in the
family of the demigods. He has saved you from gliding down into the
lowest condition of hellish life. All these facts are already known to Me.
You are very fortunate because you were not only cursed by him, but you
had the great opportunity to see him. If someone is able, by chance, to see
a great saintly person like Narada face to face, who is always serene and
merciful to everyone, then immediately that conditioned soul becomes
liberated. This is exactly like being situated in the full light of the sun:
there cannot be any visionary impediment. Therefore, O Nalakivara and
Manigriva, your lives have now become successful because you have
developed ecstatic love for Me. This is your last birth within material
existence. Now you can go back to your father’s residence in the heavenly
planet, and by remaining in the attitude of devotional service, you will
be liberated in this very life.”

After this, the demigods circumambulated the Lord many times and
bowed down before Him again and again, and thus they left. The Lord
remained bound up with ropes to the grinding mortar.

Thus ends the Bhaktivedanta purport of the Tenth Chapter of Krsna,
“Deliverance of Nalakitvara and Manigriva.”
