PURPORT

In this verse also, mother Sarasvati offers prayers to Krsna.

The word purusa-adhama refers to the Personality of Godhead, under whom all other persons remain, or, in other words, purusa-uttama, the best of all living beings.

Similarly, the word bandhu-han means “the killer of maya.” In the conditioned state of life, one is closely related with maya as a friend, but when one comes in contact with Krsna one is freed from that relationship.
