Putana





When Sukadeva Gosvami heard verse —the one describing Krishna’s mercy and the one describing Krishna’s beauty—he became attracted. Although liberated, he became attracted by the transcendental qualities of Krishna, and he came back to hear Srimad-Bhagavatam from his father, Vyasadeva.

  jighamsayapayayad apy asadhvi

lebhe gatim dhatry-ucitam tato ’nyam

  kam va dayalum saranam vrajema
