Brahmānanda: You have written that Mahā-Viṣṇu has some attraction to the material world?
Prabhupāda: No, He has no attraction. You have got attraction. Therefore He creates. Mahā-Viṣṇu knows, or Kṛṣṇa knows that "These rascals will have attraction for this material... All right, let Me arrange." He has no attraction. Why He'll have attraction?
Brahmānanda: So one of the devotees said they read that in one of the books.
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Satsvarūpa: There is one purport that says that Kṛṣṇa is different than Viṣṇu because He's not, He has nothing to do with the material world.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Brahmānanda: But Mahā-Viṣṇu, He has some attraction, or...?
Prabhupāda: No attraction. He is duty... He is, what is called, duty-bound, assigned by Kṛṣṇa, or He's not ordered. Kṛṣṇa expands in Mahā-Viṣṇu and takes charge of this affair.
