- The word krta-sirah-snanam appears here (in SB 3.23.31). According to the smrti-sastra's directions for daily duties, ladies are allowed to bathe daily up to the neck

- They (the philosophers) are under the impression that when the Supreme Personality of Godhead appears, He is under the spell of the three qualities, like all the other living entities who appear within this material world. That is their misunderstanding
