- Lord Sri Krsna, by His plenary parts, should be rendered devotional service, as explained above, is confirmed by this statement

- This verse (SB 4.20.9) is also confirmed by the Visnu Purana
- This yajna (to chant Hare Krsna) performance confirms that Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu is Visnu Himself. As Lord Visnu appeared at the Daksa yajna long, long ago, Lord Caitanya has appeared in this age to accept our sankirtana-yajna
- This yellow color refers to Caitanya Mahaprabhu, golden color. So this is also confirmed. If somebody says that "He is Krsna. Why He is not blackish?" No. He appears as the devotee of Krsna in golden color. We say, therefore, "golden avatara"
