Even kings cannot give like Lord Hari/ಶ್ರೀ ಹರಿಯಂತೆ ರಾಜಾದಿಗಳೂ ನೀಡರು

SUMMARY: If the king is pleased, he may give/donate vehicle, variety of dresses, clothes and land. But, is there anyone in this universe, who gives away his own body, house and gives respect? Lord Hari keeps anyone, who pray him, in his abodes like Anantasana and becomes a servant. He is such a Great Lord.

Giving the body means he provides shelter to his devotees in his own body or gives salvation. For several celestial beings and deities, he gives away himself. The abodes of Lord Hari are Anantasana, Shwetadweepa and Vaikuntha. Whatever a king may give is purely temporary and contributes to worldly pleasure. What Lord Hari gives is eternal and inexplicable.
