“ ‘What is the value of a throne to Lord Kṛṣṇa? The masters of the various planetary systems accept the dust of His lotus feet on their crowned heads. That dust makes the holy places sacred, and even Lord BrahmÄ, Lord Åšiva, Laká¹£mÄ« and I Myself, who are all portions of His plenary portion, eternally carry that dust on our heads.’
This is a quotation from ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam (10.68.37). When the Kauravas flattered Baladeva so that He would become their ally and spoke ill of ÅšrÄ« Kṛṣṇa, Lord Baladeva became angry and spoke this verse.
