"What is the value of a throne to Lord Krishna? The masters of the various planetary systems accept the dust of His lotus feet on their crowned heads. That dust makes the holy places sacred, and even Lord Brahma, Lord Siva, Lakshmi and I Myself, who are all portions of His plenary portion, eternally carry that dust on our heads."

PURPORT

When the Kauravas, to flatter Baladeva so that He would become their ally, spoke ill of Sri Krishna, Lord Baladeva became angry and spoke this verse (Bhag. 10.68.37).
