Indeed, today King Kaá¹sa has shown me extreme mercy by sending me to see the lotus feet of Lord Hari, who has now appeared in this world. Simply by the effulgence of His toenails, many souls in the past have transcended the insurmountable darkness of material existence and achieved liberation.
AkrÅ«ra noted how ironic it was that the envious, demoniac Kaá¹sa had given him an extraordinary blessing by sending him to see the Supreme Lord Kṛṣṇa.
