The influence of the age is so pervasive that even Krsna’s own peers suspected him 10. 57.41: “After the almighty Lord had shown the Syamantaka jewel to His relatives, thus dispelling the false accusations against Him, He returned it to Akrura.” PURPORT For the second time, doubts about the Lord’s reputation occasioned by the Syamantaka jewel are dispelled by the jewel itself. Indeed, for the second time the Lord brought the jewel to Dvaraka to establish His integrity there. This amazing series of incidents demonstrates that even when Lord Krsna descends to this world there is a tendency for His “peers” to criticize Him. The whole material world is infected by the faultfinding propensity, and in this chapter the Supreme Lord demonstrates the nature of this undesirable quality. Srila Prabhupada has informed us that there was a plot to murder his spiritual master. Some of Prabhupada’s initiated disciples wrote a book that charged other disciples with poisoning Srila Prabhupada to death.
