TRANSLATION
Lord Krsna then addressed Paundraka: My dear Paundraka, the very weapons you spoke of through your messenger, I now release unto you.
PURPORT
Srila Prabhupada writes as follows in Krsna: "At this time Lord Krsna told Paundraka, 'Paundraka, you requested Me to give up the symbols of Lord Visnu, specifically My disc. Now I will give it up to you. Be careful! You falsely declare yourself to be Vasudeva, imitating Myself. Therefore no one is a greater fool than you.' From this statement of Krsna's it is clear that any rascal who advertises himself as God is the greatest fool in human society."
