Text 39] The Killing of the Demon Aghasura 301

at all wonderful. Indeed, He showed such great mercy that even
Aghasura, the most sinful miscreant, was elevated to being one of
His associates and achieving saripya-mukti, which is actually im-
possible for materially contaminated persons to attain.

The word méyé is also used in connection with love. Out of mdyd,
love, a father has affection for his child. Therefore the word mdyinah in-
dicates that Krsna, out of love, appeared as the son of Nanda Maharaja
and assumed the form of a human child (manujarbha). Krsna is the
cause of all causes. He is the creator of cause and effect, and He is the
supreme controller. Nothing is impossible for Him. Therefore, that He
enabled even a living being like Aghasura to attain the salvation of
sdripya-mukti was not at all wonderful for Krsna. Krsna took pleasure
in entering the mouth of Aghasura in a sporting spirit along with His
associates. Therefore, when Aghasura, by that sporting association, as
maintained in the spiritual world, was purified of all contamination, he
attained sdriipya-mukti and vimukti by the grace of Krsna. For Krsna
this was not at all wonderful.
