Translation
Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: O King! The Supreme Lord, praised by the devatās, appeared before them with the brilliance of a thousand rising suns. The sixth chapter describes how the Lord makes his appearance, how Brahmā praises him and on the Lord’s advice, how the devatās approach Bali for producing nectar.

Personal Guidance
When prayers were offered, the Lord appeared in dazzling effulgence. Sincere collective calling — even from beings far above us — draws the Lord's presence. Heartfelt prayer, not credentials, is what brings Him forward.
Reflection Questions
  • When did I last pray with the desperation of the demigods, rather than as routine?
  • What would it look like to invite the Lord into a difficulty I currently face alone?
