Topics
- Krsna's lotus feet destroy the past sins - this is explained through the verse SB 10.31.7 'pranata-dehinam papa-karsanam': Your lotus feet destroy the past sins of all embodied souls who surrender to them. Those feet follow after the cows in the pastures and are the eternal abode of the goddess of fortune. Since You once put those feet on the hoods of the great serpent Kaliya, please place them upon our breasts and tear away the lust in our hearts.
