PURPORT

All the different incarnations of Lord Visnu have the right to play the roles of servitors of Lord Krsna by descending as devotees.

When an incarnation gives up the understanding of His Godhood and plays the part of a servitor, He enjoys a greater transcendental mellow taste than when He plays the part of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
