iti - thus; naḥ - our; su-mahÄ-bhÄga - O glorious one; nÄrÄyaṇa-guṇÄn - the qualities of NÄrÄyaṇa; prati - toward; samÅ›ayaḥ - doubt; su-mahÄn - very great; jÄtaḥ - born; tat - that; bhavÄn - Your Lordship; chettum arhati - please dispel.
O greatly fortunate and learned brÄhmaṇa, whether NÄrÄyaṇa is partial or impartial has become a subject of great doubt. Kindly dispel my doubt with positive evidence that NÄrÄyaṇa is always neutral and equal to everyone.
Since Lord NÄrÄyaṇa is absolute, His transcendental qualities are described as one. Thus His punishments and His offerings of favor are both of the same value. Essentially, His inimical actions are not displays of enmity toward His so-called enemies, but in the material field one thinks that Kṛṣṇa is favorable to devotees and unfavorable to nondevotees. When Kṛṣṇa finally instructs in Bhagavad-gÄ«tÄ, sarva-dharmÄn parityajya mÄm ekaá¹ Å›araṇaá¹ vraja, this is meant not only for Arjuna but for every living entity within this universe.
