were bewildered by the inconceivable potencies of
the Lord. Lord Krishna says, “Neither the hosts of
demigods nor the great sages know My origin or
opulences, for, in every respect, I am the source of
the demigods and sages.” (Bg 10.2)

Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada’s comment on this
important verse follows: “As stated in the Brahma
Samhita, Lord Krishna is the Supreme Lord. No one is
greater than Him; He is the cause of all causes. Here
it is also stated by the Lord that He is the cause of
all the demigods and sages. Even the demigods and
great Vedic sages cannot understand Krishna; they
can understand neither His name nor His personality,
so what is the position of the so-called scholars of
this tiny planet? No one can understand why the
Supreme God comes to earth as an ordinary human
being and executes such wonderful, uncommon
activities. One should know, then, that scholarship
is not the qualification necessary to understand
Krishna. Even the demigods and the great sages
have tried to understand Krishna by their mental
speculation, and they have failed to do so.” (Purport
to Bg 10.2)
