Pure - There are two kinds of supreme purity. When one type is possessed, one is able to deliver a sinful person. When the other type is possessed, one does not do anything which is impure. A person who possesses either of these qualities is called supremely pure. Kṛṣṇa is both; He can deliver all sinful conditioned souls, and at the same time, He never does anything by which He can be contaminated. In this connection, Vidura, while trying to detach his elder brother, Dhṛtaraṣṭra, from his familial attachments, said, "My dear brother, you just fix your mind on the lotus feet of Krsna, who is worshiped with beautiful erudite verses by great sages and saintly persons. Kṛṣṇa is the supreme deliverer amongst all other deliverers. Undoubtedly there are great demigods like Lord Siva and Lord Brahma, but their positions as deliverers depend always upon the mercy of Krsna." Therefore Vidura advised his elder brother Dhṛtaraṣṭra to concentrate his mind and worship only Kṛṣṇa. If one simply chants the holy name of Kṛṣṇa, this holy name will rise within one's heart like the powerful sun and will immediately dissipate all the darkness of ignorance. Vidura advised Dhṛtaraṣṭra to therefore think always of Krsna so that the volumes of contaminations due to sinful activities would be washed off immediately. In the Bhagavad-gītā also Kṛṣṇa is addressed by Arjuna as param brahma para dhama paritram-the supreme pure. There are many other instances exhibiting Krsna's supreme purity.
