Here the Lord shows unspeakable humility, falling at the feet of His devotee. It is significant that Krishna, the Supreme Personality, bows to the feet of Yudhishthira: the Lord honors His devotee above Himself. Herein lies the wondrous truth of bhakti: God, above all, willingly humbles Himself before one who loves Him, and there is no higher honor for a devotee than the bow of the Lord Himself. Thus the scripture shows Krishna's humility as the seal of His love; and by falling at the feet of the king of dharma, He exalts devotion above all greatness.
