ఏవం విధాన్యస్య హరే: స్వమాయయా విడమ్బమానస్య నృలోకమాత్మన: । వీర్యాణి గీతాన్యృషిభిర్జగద్గురో- ర్లోకం పునానాన్యపరం వదామి కిమ్ ॥ ౭౦ ॥

The Lord, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, appeared as a human being, yet He performed many uncommon and wonderful pastimes by His own potency. How can I say more about His activities than what has already been said by great saintly persons? Everyone can be purified by His activities, simply by hearing about them from the right source.

Bhagavad-gītā and all the Vedic literatures fully explain that the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, appears in human society as an ordinary human being but acts very uncommonly for the well-being of the entire world. One should not be influenced by the illusory energy and think Lord Kṛṣṇa to be an ordinary human being. Those who really seek the Absolute Truth come to the understanding that Kṛṣṇa is everything ( vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti ). Such great souls are very rare. Nonetheless, if one studies the entire Bhagavad-gītā as it is, Kṛṣṇa is very easy to understand. The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is just trying to make Kṛṣṇa known all over the world as the Supreme Personality of Godhead ( kṛṣṇas tu bhagavān svayam ). If people take this movement seriously, their lives as human beings will be successful.

Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Seventh Canto, Tenth Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled “Prahlāda, the Best Among Exalted Devotees.”

Translation
What more can I say about such astounding acts, which are glorified by sages, and which purify the world, performed by the Supreme Lord who bewilders humans by his māyā? The Lord bewilders people by his māyā and thus they do not worship him, out of bewilderment. Thus ends the commentary on the Tenth Chapter of the Seventh Canto of the Bhāgavatam for the pleasure of the devotees, in accordance with the previous ācāryas. Chapter Eleven Duties of the Castes
