PURPORT

Srila Sridhara Svami concludes this chapter with the following statement:

bhakta-sankatam alokya

krpa-purna-hrd-ambujah

giritram citra-vakyat tu

moksayam asa kesavah

"When Lord Kesava saw the danger confronting His devotee, His lotuslike heart became filled with sympathy. Thus He delivered Lord Siva from the consequences of his own eloquent words."

Thus end the purports of the humble servants of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada to the Tenth Canto, Eighty-eighth Chapter, of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, entitled "Lord Siva Saved from Vrkasura."
