PURPORT
Śrīla Śrīdhara Svāmī concludes this chapter with the following statement:
- bhakta-saṅkaṭam ālokya
- kṛpā-pūrṇa-hṛd-ambujaḥ
- giritraṁ citra-vākyāt tu
- mokṣayām āsa keśavaḥ
"When Lord Keśava saw the danger confronting His devotee, His lotuslike heart became filled with sympathy. Thus He delivered Lord Śiva from the consequences of his own eloquent words."
Thus end the purports of the humble servants of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda to the Tenth Canto, Eighty-eighth Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled "Lord Śiva Saved from Vṛkāsura."
