TRANSLATION
At that very moment, the Lord, who is called Padmanabha because of
the lotus grown from His navel and who is the delight of the righteous,
learned about the insult offered by His own servants to the saints.
Accompanied by His spouse, the goddess of fortune, He went to the spot
on those very feet that are sought for by recluses and great sages.
PURPORT
In Bhagavad-gita the Lord declares that His devotees cannot be
vanquished at any time. The Lord could understand that the quarrel
between the doormen and the sages was taking a different turn, and there-
fore He instantly came out of His place and went to the spot to stop
further aggravation so that His devotees, the doormen, might not be
vanquished for good.
