おお、王よ。無知のみから主をあなたの甥である、最高の親友である、支持者であるとか、助言者だとか、使者、後援者などと思うのだ。彼はまさに神格の権化であるシュリー・クリシュナなのだ。
Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, although acting as the cousin, brother, friend, well-wisher, counselor, messenger, benefactor, etc., of the Pāṇḍavas, was still the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Out of His causeless mercy and favor upon His unalloyed devotees, He performs all kinds of service, but that does not mean that He has changed His position as the Absolute Person. To think of Him as an ordinary man is the grossest type of ignorance.
