280 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 2, Ch. 6
TRANSLATION
Thus the forward steps of the Lord are the shelter of the three upper,
lower, and heavenly planets, as well as for all that we need. They serve as
protection from all kinds of fear.
PURPORT

For absolute protection from all sorts of fear, as well as for all our needs
of life, we must take shelter of the lotus feet of the Lord, not only in this
planet but also in all the upper, lower, and heavenly planets. This absolute
dependence on the lotus feet of the Lord is called pure devotional service,
and it is directly hinted within this passage. No one should have any kind
of doubt in this matter, nor should one be inclined to seek the help of any
other demigods, because all of them are dependent on Him only. Everyone,
except the Lord Himself, is dependent on the mercy of the Lord; even
the all-pervading Supersoul is also dependent on the supreme aspect of
Bhagavan, the Personality of Godhead.
