Nārada Muni, being worshiped by Kṛṣṇa and Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira, bade them farewell and went away. Yudhiṣṭhira Mahārāja, having heard that Kṛṣṇa, his cousin, is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, was struck with wonder.

After hearing the conversation between Nārada and Yudhiṣṭhira, if one still has any doubts about Kṛṣṇa’s being the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one should immediately give them up. Asaṁśayaṁ samagram. Without any doubt and without any defect, one should understand Kṛṣṇa to be the Supreme Personality of Godhead and thus surrender at His lotus feet. Ordinary persons do not do this, even after hearing all the Vedas, but if one is fortunate, although it may be even after many, many births, he comes to this conclusion ( bahūnāṁ janmanām ante jñānavān māṁ prapadyate ).

Translation
Nārada, after being worshiped by Kṛṣṇa and Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira, bade them farewell and departed. Yudhiṣṭhira Mahārāja, having heard that Kṛṣṇa was the supreme Brahman, was struck with wonder. Kṛṣṇa-pārthāv means Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna, or Kṛṣṇa and Yudhiṣṭhira. When Nārada was about to depart they again worshipped him.
Nārada was worshiped, then took his leave. Yudhiṣṭhira was struck with wonder hearing his cousin is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Anyone still in doubt about Kṛṣṇa should let this conversation settle the matter. Surrender follows clarity.
Reflection Questions
  • What doubt about Kṛṣṇa's supremacy still sits in you, and what would it take to settle it?
  • Once doubt is settled, what surrender naturally follows?
