son; mukti-pada haya—is known as mukti-pada; kimva—or; navama—ninth;
pada-artha—subject matter; muktira—of liberation; samasraya—shelter.

TRANSLATION

“All kinds of liberation exist under the feet of the Supreme Personality of
Godhead; therefore He is known as mukti-pada. According to another mean-
ing, mukti is the ninth subject, and the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the
shelter of liberation.

PURPORT

Lord Sri Krsna is also known as Mukunda, or He who gives transcendental bliss
by offering all kinds of mukti. Srimad-Bhagavatam is divided into twelve cantos,
and in the Ninth Canto different kinds of mukti are described. But the Tenth Can-
to is the actual center of all discussions of mukti because the Personality of God-
head Sri Krsna, who is the tenth subject discussed in Srimad-Bhagavatam, is the
exclusive subject of the Tenth Canto. Since all types of muktis reside at the lotus
feet of Sri Krsna, He may be called mukti-pada.
