Verse Text

mitho virodhino ’py atra kecin nigaditā guṇāḥ | harau niraṅkuśaiśvaryāt ko ’pi na syād asambhavaḥ ||241||

Translation

Some of the qualities listed above are contradictory to each other. Though contrary, their existence is not impossible in Kṛṣṇa, because of His unrestricted powers.

Purport (Jiva Goswami)

This verse shows the wonderful nature of qualities in Kṛṣṇa, affirming even qualities such as envy in Him. Niraṅkuśaiśvaryāt (unrestricted powers) means “because of His ability to control everything and because He is the shelter of everything.”

Purport (Nectar of Devotion)

This challenging spirit of Kṛṣṇa’s is not contradictory to His sublime character; because He is the Supreme Being, everything is possible in His character.
