‘Lord Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is offered sublime, po-
etic prayers by those trying to attain His favor. Thus He is known as Uttama-

Sloka. Being very eager to gain the association of Lord Krsna, King Bharata, al-

though in the prime of youth, gave up his very attractive wife, affectionate

children, most beloved friends and opulent kingdom, exactly as one gives up
stool after excreting it.’ ”
