Lord Hari is the ultimate cause of universal creation, maintenance and destruction. My dear King, anyone who chants about, hears about or simply appreciates the extraordinary activities He performed in this world, which are impossible to imitate, will surely develop devotion for the Supreme Lord, the bestower of liberation.

Purport

ÅšrÄ«la ViÅ›vanÄtha CakravartÄ« has given various meanings for the word ananya-viá¹£ayÄṇi. This term may indicate that the Lord performed activities in DvÄrakÄ that were unusual even for His plenary expansions, to say nothing of others. Or the term can be understood to indicate that the Lord performed these activities for the sake of His pure, exclusive devotees. In any case, one who recites or hears accounts of these pastimes will certainly be engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness and, as ÅšrÄ«la PrabhupÄda writes: “certainly find it very easy to traverse the path of liberation and taste the nectar of the lotus feet of Lord Kṛṣṇa.†ŚrÄ«la PrabhupÄda further points out that the word anumodate here indicates that one who “supports a preacher of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement†will also receive the benefits mentioned here.

Thus end the purports of the humble servants of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupÄda to the Tenth Canto, Sixty-ninth Chapter, of the ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam, entitled “NÄrada Muni Visits Lord Kṛṣṇa’s Palaces in DvÄrakÄ.â€
