1324 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 3, Ch. 31
PURPORT

The word calac-carandravindam means the Supreme Personality of
Godhead who actually walks or travels upon the surface of the world. For
example, Lord Ramacandra actually walked on the surface of the world,
and Lord Krsna also walked just like an ordinary man. The prayer is there-
fore offered to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who descends to the
surface of this earth, or any part of this universe, for the protection of the
pious and the destruction of the impious. It is confirmed in Bhagavad-gita
that when there is an increase of irreligion and discrepancies arise in the
real religious activities, the Supreme Lord comes to protect the pious and
kill the impious. This verse indicates Lord Krsna.

Another significant point in this verse is that the Lord comes, icchaya,
by His own will. As Krsna confirms in Bhagavad-gita, sambhavamy
atma-mayaya: “I appear at My will, by My internal potential power.” He
is not forced to come by the laws of material nature. It is stated here,
icchaya: He does not assume any form, as the impersonalists think,
because He comes at His own will, and the form in which He descends is
His eternal form. As the Supreme Lord puts the living entity into the
condition of horrible existence, so He can also deliver him, and therefore
one should seek shelter at the lotus feet of Krsna. Krsna demands, “Give up
everything and surrender unto Me.” And it is also said in Bhagavad-gita
that anyone who approaches Him does not come back again to accept
form in material existence, but goes back to Godhead, back home,
never to return.
