Here gurgamuni is Partially explaining the position of Lord krishna and partially covering the facts.Gargamuni indicated, "Your son is a great personality, and He can change the color of His body in different ages.The word grhnatah indicates that krishna is free to make His choice. In other words, He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead and may therefore do whatever He desires. In Vedic literature the different colors assumed by the Personality of Godhead in different millenniums are stated, and therefore when Gargamuni said, "Your son has assumed these colors," he indirectly said, "He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead." Because of kansa's atrocities, Gargamuni tried to avoid disclosing this fact, but he indirectly informed Nanda maharaja that krishna, his son, was the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
