PURPORT
A purposeful summary of the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna is made herein by Srimati Kunti Devi. The All mighty Lord has His eternal transcendental abode where He is engaged in keeping Suravi cows being served by batches of the Goddess of Fortune. He descends on the material world to reclaim His devotees and to annihilate the disturbing elements in the groups of political parties and kings who are supposed to be in charge of administration work. He creates, maintains and annihilates by His unlimited energies and still He is always full with prowess without any deterioration of potency. The cow, the Brahmins and the devotees of the Lord are all objects of His special attention because they are very important factors for general welfare of the living being.
