Kṛṣṇa is addressed as Ananta, the Infinite Lord, to emphasize His limitless nature and the transcendental potency of His feet, whose fragrance and shelter dispel the devotee’s suffering.
When emotions feel overwhelming, redirect the heart toward Kṛṣṇa through remembrance, prayer, and devotion to His lotus feet; the Bhagavatam teaches that spiritual shelter transforms inner pain into peace.
