Dear Lord, we were awaiting Your audience because we have been unable to perform the yajñas according to the Vedic rituals. We pray unto You, therefore, to be pleased with us. Simply by chanting Your holy name, one can surpass all obstacles. We offer our respectful obeisances unto You in Your presence.
The brÄhmaṇa priests were very hopeful that their sacrifice would be carried out without obstacles now that Lord Viṣṇu was present. It is significant in this verse that the brÄhmaṇas say, “Simply by chanting Your holy name we can surpass the obstacles, but now You are personally present.†The performance of yajña by Daká¹£a was obstructed by the disciples and followers of Lord Åšiva. The brÄhmaṇas indirectly criticized the followers of Lord Åšiva, but because the brÄhmaṇas were always protected by Lord Viṣṇu, Åšiva’s followers could not do any harm to their prosecution of the sacrificial process. There is a saying that when Kṛṣṇa protects someone, no one can do him harm, and when Kṛṣṇa wants to kill someone, no one can protect him. The vivid example was RÄvaṇa. RÄvaṇa was a great devotee of Lord Åšiva, but when Lord RÄmacandra wanted to kill him, Lord Åšiva could not protect him. If some demigod, even Lord Åšiva or Lord BrahmÄ, wants to do harm to a devotee, Kṛṣṇa protects the devotee. But when Kṛṣṇa wants to kill someone, such as RÄvaṇa or HiraṇyakaÅ›ipu, no demigod can protect him.
