As Ekādaśī is glorious among sacred days, as Lord Śeśa, the king of serpents, is glorious among serpents, as Garuḍa is glorious among birds in the sky, as the Mahābhārata is glorious among the Purāṇas, and as Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the master of the demigods and the Yādavas, is glorious among all deities, so sacred Dvārakā is glorious among all sacred places.
