As Lord Siva glorifies Lord Krishna doubt may arise, since, apparently, Lord Krishna is standing before Lord Siva as a historical personality with a humanlike body. However, it is out of the Lord's causeless mercy that He appears to us in a form visible to our mundane eyes. If we want to understand the Absolute Truth, Sri Krishna, we must hear from recognized authorities in Krishna consciousness, such as Lord Krishna Himself in the Bhagavad-gita, or from Lord Siva, a recognized Vaishnava authority, who here glorifies the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
