PURPORT

There are two classes of transcendentalists-the jnanis and the bhaktas. The bhaktas do not aspire to merge into the existence of the Lord, but the jnanis do. Sisupala, however, was neither a jnani nor a bhakta, yet simply by envy of the Lord he attained an exalted position by merging into the Lord's body. Certainly this was astonishing, and therefore Maharaja Yudhisthira inquired about the cause for the Lord's mysterious mercy to Sisupala.
