Srimad Bhagvata Mahapurana: Book 10: Chapter 69: Verses 40-45


The Lord replied : 0 sage, I am not only the Teacher of Dharma, but I practise it Myself, and lend countenance to (those who practise) it. I follow the path of Dharma in order to teach the world (by My example). (Therefore,) do not get perplexed, My son, (at the sight of this My Yogamaya). Sri Suka went on : Thus, they say, the Devarsi saw one and the same Sri Krsna (present in all the mansions of His consorts) performing the pious duties of householders which lead to their purification. Seeing again and again, the vast display of the wonderful Yogic power of Sri Krsna, who had infinite prowess, the curious sage was filled with astonishment. Duly honoured by Sri Krsna who (behaved as though He) made much of (the first three objects of human pursuit viz.,) Dharma (virtue), Artha (wealth) and Kama (enjoyment of life), the Devarsi felt (much) delighted and went away constantly thinking of Him alone. For the good of the world 0 dear one, Lord Narayana takes the help of His (inconceivable) Yogamaya and begins to sport as a human being. Greeted with their bashful looks and friendly smiles by (more than) sixteen thousand noble wives, the Lord thus delightfully spent His days (at Dwaraka). 0 Pariksit ! he who for his part celebrates the inimitable exploits performed by Sri Krsna--who is the (supreme) Cause of the evolution,continuance and dissolution of the universe-or heave of them, or views with approbation their singing and hearing, attains (loving) devotion to the almighty Lord, the Bestower of Liberation.

Thus ends the sixty-ninth discourse entitled, " A Glimpse into the household life of Sri Krsna, " in the latter half of Book Ten of the great and glorious Bhagavata-Purana, otherwise known as the Paramahamsa-Samhita
