Text 33] The Sacrifice Performed by Daksa 243

resting it on the little finger of His left hand for seven days. This
uncommon feature of the Lord should convince even materialistic persons
who want to speculate to the limit of their material senses. The activities
of the Lord are pleasing to experimental vision also, but impersonalists
will not believe in His identity because they study the personality of the
Lord by comparing their personality to His. Because men in this material
world cannot lift a hill, they therefore do not believe that the Lord can
lift one. They accept the statements of Srimad-Bhagavatam to be allegori-
cal, and they try to interpret them in their own way. But factually the
Lord lifted the hill in the presence of all the inhabitants of Vrndavana, as
corroborated by great dcaryas and authors like Vyasadeva and Narada.
Everything about the Lord—His activities, pastimes and uncommon
features—should be accepted as is, and in this way, even in our present
condition, we can understand the Lord. In the instance herein, King Indra
confirms: ‘Your presence with eight hands is as good as Your presence
with four hands.” There is no doubt about it.
