“Though he makes you remember him, why do you not remember him?” When she appeared during the churning of the Milk Ocean, she enacted the pastime of choosing a husband. At that time she ignored others and serves him constantly without being touched by the faults of the material Lakṣmī who is her expansion (svātma). Thus he should not beg for food. That act bewildered everyone including us so that we did not think he was the Lord.

“By his will he can deliver anyone from saṁsāra. Why did he beg food, unbecoming of the Lord?” That question is raised in this verse. With a desire to touch his lotus feet once, or to touch even one foot once (sakṛt), Lakṣmī serves him. Or with a desire to touch his feet she serves continually (asakrt). In that condition (always with Lakṣmī or wealtlh) how could he beg? Thus begging is bewildering for all jīvas. Who can understand his actions? Or he does this to bewilder the non-devotees (jana-mohinī or ajana-mohinī) and nourish the bhakti of the devotees. The non-devotees are bewildered but the devotees are not. On the contrary their bhakti increases. By his human pastimes the supreme Lord stimulates intense bhakti. Or such actions enchant the devotees’ hearts. Uddhava says to Vidura:

māṁ khedayaty etad ajasya janma- viḍambanaṁ yad vasudeva-gehe vraje ca vāso ’ri-bhayād iva svayaṁ purād vyavātsīd yad-ananta-vīryaḥ Kṛṣṇa’s appearance in the prison house of Kaṁsa in miserable circumstances, his stay in Vraja out of fear of enemies, and his leaving Mathurā though he has infinite power used to give me great suffering. SB 3.2.16 His birth in the prison room of Vasudeva, his stay in Vraja out of fear of Kaṁsa, fleeing from Mathurā though he is full of unlimited power, causes me pain. By such human pastimes, increasing bhakti, I feel pain in my heart. By showing his powers as Narasiṁha he does not produce suffering in me since special bhakti does not appear. dunoti cetaḥ smarato mamaitad yad āha pādāv abhivandya pitroḥ tātāmba kaṁsād uru-śaṅkitānāṁ prasīdataṁ no ’kṛta-niṣkṛtīnām Remembering his conduct, my heart fills with pain. Bowing at the feet of his parents, he said, “O father! O mother! Forgive us because, being greatly fearful of Kaṁsa, we could not serve you.” SB 3.2.17

tat tasya kaiṅkaryam alaṁ bhṛtān no viglāpayaty aṅga yad ugrasenam tiṣṭhan niṣaṇṇaṁ parameṣṭhi-dhiṣṇye nyabodhayad deva nidhārayeti O Vidura! Kṛṣṇa’s acting as a servant of Ugrasena gives us servants great pain. Standing in from of Ugrasena sitting on the king’s throne he informed him, “O king of kings! Please establish me in your service.” SB 3.2.22
