Chapters

In the Bhāgavatam, there is a story of Vījñāndra. Vījñāndra's feet was trapped by the crocodile. You know that story? It's an Indian story. So Vījñāndra's feet was still caught in the crocodile's mouth, and for 1,000 years, Vījñāndra was trying to get his feet out of the crocodile's mouth. But he did not. The elephant went on becoming weaker and weaker, and the crocodile went on becoming stronger and stronger. Finally, Yudhishthira remembered the prayers that he had composed and offered in his previous life to the Supreme Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa. The demigods were all watching, hoping that Yudhishthira would turn to them for protection and help. And he went straight to the Supreme Lord, and the Lord came and protected with him. So Kṛṣṇa is the supreme master and trainer.
