ukadeva Gosvāmī continued:] The sages then spoke again, O King, addressing Vasudeva while all the kings, along with Lord Acyuta and Lord Rāma, listened.

COMMENTARY

Indeed, Vasudeva knew that Kṛṣṇa was the Lord from His very birth, but living close to Him bred familiarity. That is expressed in this verse. Nārada knew that the cause of Vasudeva not seeing Kṛṣṇa as God was Vasudeva’s prema, but still at that great gathering Nārada explained things according to the common man’s level in order to maintain the extreme confidentiality of the highest truths about pure love of God, prema-siddhānta. It is certain that hearing this verse from Nārada would increase Vasudeva’s respect for Kṛṣṇa as the Lord. In this context the word anādara means “disregarding greatness.”

TRANSLATION

The Supreme Lord’s awareness is never disturbed by time, by the creation and destruction of the universe, by changes in its own qualities, or by anything else, whether self-caused or external. But although the consciousness of the Personality of Godhead, who is the supreme one without a second, is never affected by material distress, by the reactions of material work or by the constant flow of nature’s modes, ordinary persons nonetheless think that the Lord is covered by His own creations of prāṇa and other material elements, just as one may think that the sun is covered by clouds, snow or an eclipse.

COMMENTARY

Nārada said, “O most venerable brāhmaṇas, not only Vasudeva is subject to this criticism. Almost all the people here do not know that Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Lord.” This is explained in two verses.

“Materialistic people think that Kṛṣṇa, whose knowledge is never destroyed by any cause, can be covered by prāṇa and other elements just like themselves.” The verb is found in the second verse.

“Kṛṣṇa’s knowledge cannot be destroyed by time which causes the creation and destruction of the universe as in the case of a karkaṭīkā fruit which grows and decays. Kṛṣṇa’s knowledge is not destroyed by itself like lightning; or by any means other than Himself like a hammer which destroys a clay pot; or by the mode of ignorance which destroys the universe.”

(Text 33) Nārada repeats the same idea to strengthen his statement in this verse. “Kṛṣṇa’s consciousness (anubhavam) is never destroyed by the afflictions (kleśa) of attachment, by the karmas which caused these afflictions, by the consequent (paripāka) happiness and distress which are the by-products of karma, nor by the constant flow of the three modes (guṇa). But ignorant men think that Kṛṣṇa, who appears to be covered by His own expansions (sva-vibhavair) of the subtle body made of prana, mind, intelligence, to be a person like themselves. This can be compared to the sun, which appears covered by its own products in the form of clouds, snow (hima) or the eclipses (uparāgaiḥ) of Rāhu. In reality the sun is the cause of the cloud because the cloud is made of water, which comes from light (tejas) in the original process of elemental creation. Water is the cause of snow. Rāhu is made from the sun’s light because his nature is to destroy the darkness of the misfortunes of wicked persons, and because darkness is perceived by the sense of sight.”
