Sukadeva Gosvami said: When Lord Visnu was thus requested
by Lord Siva, who carries a trident in his hand, He smiled with gra-

PURPORT

The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Visnu, is known as YogeSvara.
Yatra yogesvarah krsnah. Mystic yogis want to acquire some power by
practicing the yoga system, but Krsna, the Supreme Personality of God-
head, is known as the Supreme Lord of all mystic power. Lord Siva
wanted to see the Mohini-marti, which was captivating the entire world,
and Lord Visnu was gravely thinking of how to captivate Lord Siva also.
