Once on a time while I was scated at Dvaravati, O delighter of the Kurus, my son Pradyumna, enraged by certain Brahmanas, came to me and said, O destroyer of Madhu, what mcrit is there for adoring the Brahmanas. Whence is their lordship derived both in this world and in the next.
द्वारवत्यां समासीनं पुरा मां कुरुनन्दन। प्रद्युन्म: परिपप्रच्छ ब्राह्मणैः परिकोपितः॥ किं फलं ब्राह्मणेष्वस्ति पूजायां मधुसूदन। ईश्वरत्वं कुतस्तेषामिहैव च परत्र च॥
