Devotee: The last sentence was, "Bhagavān sometimes mean any . . . any . . . means any powerful person or demigod, but here it means Kṛṣṇa. This is confirmed by all the . . ."
Prabhupāda: Now this bhagavān, you have heard, many times I have explained, bhaga. Bhaga means opulence. There are six kinds of opulences. What is that? Wealth, and then influence, strength, reputation and knowledge, beauty and renunciation. Is it not six? If a man is wealthy, very rich—just like in your country Rockefeller, Ford, there are many rich men in your, the . . . your country is very rich—so if one is very rich he is called opulent.
If a man is very reputed, famous man, he is also opulent. If a man is very influential, he is also opulent. If a man is very strong . . . Now the strong man, formerly strong men had request, ahh, respect. All the kings, they were respected on their personal strength. They used to . . . they had to fight with the opponents. So that is also opulence.
Then beauty. A very beautiful man or woman, that is also opulence. And wise, very learned, wise man, that is also opulence—scientist, philosopher, mathematician. So they are also opulent. And renouncer. Renouncer, that one who gives up everything—he has everything in his possession, but he disposes himself—that is called renunciation. Just like king, Mahārāja Bharata, under whose name India is called Bhārata-varṣa.
He was the emperor of the world, but at the age of twenty-four years only he gave up everything—his young wife, young children. Lord Buddha, Lord Buddha was prince, but very young boy, at the age of twenty years or something like that, he gave up everything, his father's kingdom. This is called renunciation. At the present moment (chuckles) hardly there is any instance of renunciation, but formerly there were many kings, many princes who renounced everything for spiritual advancement. So these six principles are called bhaga.
So these six principles are there. Just like we are minute part and parcel of the Supreme Lord. Fragment, very small fragment. So every one of us have got some money according to our capacity. Every one of us has got some strength or some reputation or some beauty or some knowledge. Comparatively it may be that your position may be greater than me or other's position may be greater than you, that not all of us on the same level.
There are comparative position. So bhagavān means you go on searching; when you find a person that nobody is richer than Him, nobody is stronger than Him, nobody is reputed than Him, nobody is wiser than him, nobody is beautiful, more beautiful than Him, and nobody is renouncer than Him, He is Bhagavān, He is God.
So all these you will find in Kṛṣṇa. That is the significance of Kṛṣṇa. When Kṛṣṇa was present on this material world, so nobody could excel Him in any of these opulences. Nobody. So far richness is concerned, He exhibited His richness—which is dream now. He married 16,108 wives, and each wife had a palace, and the palace did not require light; it was bedecked with valuable jewels, so at night the light from the jewels will illuminate the rooms.
Can you imagine such house? (laughter) And not only that, that He married 16,000 wives and He was apart from them—no. With each wife He was present. With some wife He is talking, with some wife He is playing, with some wife He is looking after the children. In this way Nārada traveled all the houses, all the palaces, he saw Kṛṣṇa is there engaged. This is called opulence.
