na duṣyetānubhāvas tair
māyinaḥ kuhakaṁ yathā

WORD BY WORD



TRANSLATION

This apparent humility is simply a show of mercy. Such behavior of the Supreme Lord and His personal associates, which the Lord effects by His own bewildering potency, does not spoil His power any more than a magician’s powers are diminished by his exhibition of tricks.

PURPORT

This verse has not purport by His Holiness Hṛdayānanda dās Gosvāmi, initiated disciple of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Svāmī Prabhupāda.
