An example: O best of masters! You have today shown extraordinary mercy to me, Kāliya, the worst offender, by marking my head with Your footprints, which are rarely attained even by the devotees.

Upon being chastised by Kṛṣṇa’s constant kicking on his head, Kāliya, the black snake of the Yamunā, came to his senses and admitted, “My dear Lord, I have been so offensive unto You, but still You are so kind that You have marked my head with the impression of Your lotus feet.” This is also an instance of one’s taking shelter under the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa.

— A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda
