Translation
Si Śrī Kṛṣṇa, ang pinakadakila sa mga tao, ay dapat parangalan dito; sapagkat siya ang anyo ng walang hanggang Dharma (Sanātana Dharma). Kapag siya’y pinarangalan at sinamba, magiging sanhi siya ng kaginhawahan para sa atin; ngunit kapag hindi pinarangalan, magiging sanhi siya ng ating pagdurusa.
