Episode Synopsis

Translation
[Please tell me] whether the original Personalities of Godhead, who incarnated Themselves at the request of Brahmä [who is born out of the lotus flower from the Lord] and who have increased the prosperity of the world by elevating everyone, are doing well in the house of Sürasena.

Purport
Lord Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma are not two different Personalities of Godhead.
God is one without a second, but He expands Himself in many forms
without their being separate from one another. They are all plenary
expansions. The immediate expansion of Lord Kṛṣṇa is Baladeva, and
Brahmā, born from the lotus flower from Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu, is an
expansion of Baladeva. This indicates that Kṛṣṇa and Baladeva are not
subjected to the regulations of the universe; on the contrary, the whole
universe is under Their subjugation. They appeared at the request of
Brahmā to liberate the burden of the world, and They relieved the world
by many superhuman activities so that everyone became happy and
prosperous. Without the grace of the Lord, no one can become happy and
prosperous. Because the happiness of the family of the Lord’s devotees
depends on the happiness of the Lord, Vidura first of all inquired about
the well-being of the Lord.
