Verse 1.8.7:
* Reconfirming the importance of following the Varnashrama dharma
* Although Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, when Sage Vyasadev and other brahmanas worshipped Him, Krishna reciprocated and worshipped the brahmanas
* So here Krishna is showing by example, to follow Varnashrama dharma
* Important to follow instructions given by Srila Prabhupada
- 4 regulative principles
- 16 rounds chanting
- reading scriptures like SB and BG
* Krishna is very pleased by the worship of the brahmanas ("go-brahmanya hithaya cha..."). And He recommends the same to all of us through His actions
* Vishnu is telling the 4 Kumaras, He is asking them to excuse Him telling that He is always the servant of the brahmanas
* Eg: Arjuna on the day of killing Jayadrata. Krishna was massaging the feet of the horses, combing their hair since they were in service of Arjuna, a devotee of Krishna. ==> Servant of the servant of the servant of devotees.
