 bhagavan pranatarti-ha

grhitva panina panim

 prahasams tam uvaca ha

 

Translation: 

 

Sri Sukadeva Gosvami said: After hearing Srutadeva speak these words, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who relieves His surrendered devotees’ distress, took Srutadeva’s hand in His own and, smiling, spoke to him as follows.

 

Purport: 

 

Acarya Visvanatha comments that Lord Krsna took Srutadeva’s hand and smiled as a gesture of friendship, to tell Him, “Yes, you know the truth about Me, and I also know all about you. So now I will tell you something special.”
