<< Canto 10, The Summum Bonum >>
<< 66 - Pauṇḍraka, the False Vāsudeva >>

<< VERSE 2 >>

tvaṁ vāsudevo bhagavān
avatīṛno jagat-patiḥ
iti prastobhito bālair
mena ātmānam acyutam

WORD BY WORD



TRANSLATION

Pauṇḍraka was emboldened by the flattery of childish men, who told him, “You are Vāsudeva, the Supreme Lord and master of the universe, who have now descended to the earth.” Thus he imagined himself to be the infallible Personality of Godhead.

PURPORT

Pauṇḍraka foolishly accepted the flattery of ignorant persons.
