A summary of the Supreme Lord ÅšrÄ« Kṛṣṇa is made herein by ÅšrÄ«matÄ« KuntÄ«devÄ«. The almighty Lord has His eternal transcendental abode where He is engaged in keeping surabhi cows. He is served by hundreds and thousands of goddesses of fortune. He descends to the material world to reclaim His devotees and to annihilate the disturbing elements in groups of political parties and kings who are supposed to be in charge of administration work. He creates, maintains and annihilates by His unlimited energies, and still He is always full with prowess and does not deteriorate in potency. The cows, the brÄhmaṇas and the devotees of the Lord are all objects of His special attention because they are very important factors for the general welfare of living beings.
