Chapter 25: Verse 121-130

ENGLISH TRANSLATION 121.If My devotee offers Me food, I happily eat it. If a non- devotee offers Me food, I will not eat it, even if it is like nectar. 122.The great king Ambariña did not act badly. He did not hurt others. He was always kind. He was intent on doing good to others. Why did you try to kill him? 123.My devotees are always kind to all living beings. They who hate My devotees are fools. I kill such fools. 124.I have no power to save the enemy and attacker of My devotees. Go to King Ambariña. Only he has the power to save you. 125.Hearing Lord Näräyaëa's words, the brähmaëa Durväsä became frightened and dejected. He remembered Lord Kåñëa's lotus feet. 126.Then Brahmä, Çiva, Pärvati, Yamaräja, Indra, the demigods, and the great sages came. 127.They bowed down. Their heads humbly bowed and the hairs of their bodies erect, they spoke many prayers. 128.Çri Brahmä said: O Lord whose form is transcendental, O Lord not touched by matter, O Lord kind to Your devotees, please save this brähmaëa who has offended Your devotee. 129.Lord Çiva said: O friend of the poor, O master of the universes, please do not reject this brähmaëa. Please save this poor offender who has surrendered to You and taken shelter of You. 130.Çri Pärvati said: King Ambariña is devoted to You. Are not we demigods and brähmanas also Your devotees? You are the master if us all. Please save this offender brähmaëa.
