WORD BY WORD
TRANSLATION
 | “Please purify Me, My realm and the realms of the universal rulers devoted to Me by giving us the water that has washed your feet. This holy water is indeed what makes all places of pilgrimage sacred. Today, my lord, I have become the exclusive shelter of the goddess of fortune, Lakṣmī; she will consent to reside on My chest because your foot has rid it of sins.”
|
PURPORT
| | Continuing his comments, Śrīla Prabhupāda says: “The so-called brāhmaṇas of the Kali-yuga are sometimes very proud that a great brāhmaṇa like Bhṛgu Muni could touch the chest of Lord Viṣṇu with his foot. But in fact, when Bhṛgu Muni kicked the chest of Lord Viṣṇu it was the greatest offense, although Lord Viṣṇu, being greatly magnanimous, did not take it very seriously.”
| | | Some editions of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam contain the following verse between texts 11 and 12, and Śrīla Prabhupāda also includes it in Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, his summary study of the Tenth Canto:
| | | atīva-komalau tāta
caraṇau te mahā-mune
ity uktvā vipra-caraṇau
mardayan svena pāṇinā
| | | “[The Lord said to the brāhmaṇa Bhṛgu:] ‘My dear sir, O great sage, your feet are indeed very tender.’ Saying this, Lord Viṣṇu began massaging the brāhmaṇa’s feet with His own hands.”
