Translation

Śrī Śukadeva Gosvāmī continued: When the King of the elephants was describing the supreme authority, without mentioning any particular person, he did not invoke the demigods, headed by Lord Brahmā, Lord Śiva, Indra and Candra. Thus none of them approached him. However, because Lord Hari is the Supersoul, Puruṣottama, the Personality of Godhead, He appeared before Gajendra.

हिन्दी टीका-पाठ

श्रीशुकदेवजी कहते हैं— परीक्षित्! गजेन्द्रने बिना किसी भेदभावके निर्विशेषरूपसे भगवान् की स्तुति की थी, इसलिये भिन्‍न-भिन्‍न नाम और रूपको अपना स्वरूप माननेवाले ब्रह्मा आदि देवता उसकी रक्षा करनेके लिये नहीं आये। उस समय सर्वात्मा होनेके कारण सर्वदेवस्वरूप स्वयं भगवान् श्रीहरि प्रकट हो गये॥ ३०॥
