至尊人格首神斯里·奎师那作为超灵（antaryāmī）位于每个人心中，他听到牧童们在谈论那条假蟒蛇。他知道那实际上是阿格哈苏拉（Aghāsura），一个伪装成蟒蛇的恶魔。奎师那知道这一点，想要阻止他的同伴进入恶魔的嘴里。
FAQs
This verse states that Kṛṣṇa is “akhila-bhūta-hṛt-sthitaḥ,” situated in the hearts of all beings, and therefore He knows the demon’s intent and acts to protect His devotees.
Because the boys, not knowing the truth, dismissed the danger as untrue; Kṛṣṇa recognized Aghāsura and resolved to check His companions so they would not rush into harm.
Do not rely only on group opinion or incomplete knowledge when danger is real; cultivate discernment, and seek the Lord’s guidance within through prayer and steady devotion.
