PURPORT There are many
kinds of cheaters all over the universe. Of all cheating processes, gambling
stands supreme and therefore represents Krsna. As the Supreme, Krsna can
be more deceitful than any mere man. If Krsna chooses to deceive a person,
no one can surpass Him in His deceit. His greatness is not simply one-sided--it
is all-sided.
Among the
victorious, He is victory. He is the splendor of the splendid. Among enterprising
industrialists, He is the most enterprising. Among adventurers, He is the
most adventurous, and among the strong, He is the strongest. When Krsna
was present on earth, no one could surpass Him in strength. Even in His
childhood He lifted Govardhana Hill. No one can surpass Him in cheating,
no one can surpass Him in splendor, no one can surpass Him in victory,
no one can surpass Him in enterprise, and no one can surpass Him in strength.
