Text

“Please purify Me, My realm and the realms of the universal rulers devoted to Me by giving us the water that has washed your feet. This holy water is indeed what makes all places of pilgrimage sacred. Today, my lord, I have become the exclusive shelter of the goddess of fortune, Laká¹£mÄ«; she will consent to reside on My chest because your foot has rid it of sins.â€

Continuing his comments, ÅšrÄ«la PrabhupÄda says: “The so-called brÄhmaṇas of the Kali-yuga are sometimes very proud that a great brÄhmaṇa like Bhá¹›gu Muni could touch the chest of Lord Viṣṇu with his foot. But in fact, when Bhá¹›gu Muni kicked the chest of Lord Viṣṇu it was the greatest offense, although Lord Viṣṇu, being greatly magnanimous, did not take it very seriously.â€

Some editions of ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam contain the following verse between texts 11 and 12, and ÅšrÄ«la PrabhupÄda also includes it in Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, his summary study of the Tenth Canto:

atÄ«va-komalau tÄta
 caraṇau te mahÄ-mune
ity uktvÄ vipra-caraṇau
 mardayan svena pÄṇinÄ

“[The Lord said to the brÄhmaṇa Bhá¹›gu:] ‘My dear sir, O great sage, your feet are indeed very tender.’ Saying this, Lord Viṣṇu began massaging the brÄhmaṇa’s feet with His own hands.â€
