Jayapataka Swami: Śrīla Prabhupāda explained that with Kṛṣṇa everything is equal. That is just like the government has the police department and social welfare department, for the criminals police department is very fearful, but they don’t mind the social welfare department. But for the government, both departments are departments. So Lakṣmī is the spiritual energy and Pārvatī is the material energy so for Kṛṣṇa, it is the same thing and they are all different departments. But He doesn’t relate directly with Pārvatī, He does that in His form as Lord Śiva, but He relates with Lakṣmī, in His form as Nārāyaṇa.
