FAQs

It signifies the devas’ acknowledgment that Kṛṣṇa is the true protector and lord of Gokula and the cows; Indra ceremonially anoints Him and then returns to heaven after receiving permission.

After offering honor to Kṛṣṇa and completing the abhiṣeka, Indra takes leave (anujñāto) and departs with the devas, indicating his restored role under the Supreme Lord’s authority.

It teaches humility after mistakes: recognize higher guidance, offer sincere respect, and return to one’s duties without ego—seeing success and power as subordinate to dharma and devotion.
