Just like Lord Rāmacandra. When He came, He accepted only one wife. Accepted only one wife. And even when that wife was banished . . . you know that. Sītā. Sītā. He (She) was kidnapped by Rāvaṇa, and Lord Rāma fought with him, killed the whole family, and installed his brother in that kingdom and rescued Sītā and brought home. So He was living with Sītā.
But some of the śūdras, they criticized, "Oh, just see Rāmacandra. He is king. He is very powerful. He is living with His kidnapped wife." Because in India, once a woman goes out of home—still the culture is—you cannot be . . . she cannot be accepted any more. She has to live just like prostitute. She has no shelter. But when this, I mean to say, popular opinion was there . . . but He was king. He has to take the criticism of the public. Just like at the present moment the president, they don't care for public opinion. Irresponsible. They say: "Responsible government." They are most irresponsible.
But formerly, although there was monarchy, they were very much responsible. As soon as there was some criticism from the public, Rāmacandra at once banished Sītā, "Oh, I cannot live with Sītā. Public opinion is against it." Just see. He is following the rules and regulation. His father told Him, "My dear boy, I wish that instead of being enthroned, please go to the forest." "All right, it is your order. I must carry." Just see. He is following the principle. He is ideal . . . Rāmacandra is ideal king means He has followed the principle of moral codes. And . . .
But from Kṛṣṇa's behavior, you will find there is no moral code. He is free. At night He is calling girls, "Come on, I'll dance with you." They were coming. From material point of view it is immoral, at least in India. But He is free. Rāmacandra accepted one wife, He accepted sixteen thousand wives.
So Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa is above everything. No rules and regulation. He cannot do anything wrong. He is not under the jurisdiction of any law. Therefore Kṛṣṇa manifested the full power of the Supreme Lord. And other incarnation, although they came, they came for the time being to perform a certain particular purpose, but they did not manifest the full power of God. Therefore Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme God. Kṛṣṇas tu bhagavān svayam (SB 1.3.28).
It is confirmed in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam that He is the Supreme Personality, original Personality of Godhead. He is nobody's under control. Even He was not controlled by His supreme lover, Rādhārāṇī. Rādhārāṇī is considered . . . the gopīs are considered the topmost lover of Kṛṣṇa. But when Kṛṣṇa decided to leave Vṛndāvana, oh, they began to cry. They blocked the way. Kṛṣṇa didn't care; went away. Went away. He didn't care even. So much dear Rādhārāṇī. They become blind, crying, crying, crying, crying, whole life. But Kṛṣṇa never returned. Never returned. He sent His message, He sent His letter, that "I am very sorry, but . . ." That is God. He is not controlled by anything. Anything. That is Kṛṣṇa.
