Supreme Lord Krishna, the Demigods!

Verse 1.18.14 (Srinivas Acharya Prji):

* Here Suta Goswami is trying to explain the supremacy of Lord Krishna while explaining the positions of Lord Brahma and Lord Siva.
* SP mentions in many places, especially we know that is one of the namaaparadha to consider the demigods equal to or greater than Lord Krishna.
* In the scriptures too, there are so many references of how Lord Krishna time and again saves Lord Brahma and Lord Siva from their own actions
- Boon given by Lord Brahma to Hiranyakashipu, Lord Krishna had to finally come to save the world
- Lord Siva giving boon to Banasura and Basmasura, then Krishna had to come down
* In this purport, the glories to Lord Siva is also being mentioned by Srila Prabhupada, just to show the power of Lord Siva, then what to say of the power of Lord Krishna who is far greater than him.
- Lord Siva being called Neelakanta
* Similarly, the two demons Madhu and Kaitabha stole the Vedic knowledge from Lord Brahma, Lord Krishna killed the demons and saved the world.
* So we see from all these are that these demigods are practically invincible, but still when they cannot solve the problem, Lord Krishna is the ultimate savior.
* All Vishnu-tattva are equivalent to Lord Krishna!
