ENGLISH TRANSLATION
51.Every wise man yearns to serve Me. They who pray for My service are fortunate. They who do not are filled with material desires. 52.Fruitive workers fear birth, death, old-age, disease and Yama’s punishments. They who are My devotees do not fear. 53.My devotees are not touched by piety or sin. I shake away their karma. 54.I am the devotees’ life. The devotees are My life. They meditate on Me always. I think of them day and night. 55.My sixteen spoke Sudarsana disc is very sharp. No living being has even one sixteenth of its splendour and power. 56.To protect them I place My disc by the devotees’ side. Still not confident of their protection, I personally stand by My devotees. 57I am not happy in Vaikuntha. I am not happy in Goloka. I am not happy by Sri Radha’s side. I am happy in the company of My devotees. Wherever My devotees stay, there I stay day and night. 58.Sri Radha is more dear to Me than life. Day and night She rests on My chest. You are also more dear to Me than life. To Me the goddess of fortune is not more dear than My devotees. 59.O demigods, whatever a devotee offers Me with love I happily eat. I do not eat what non-devotees offer. They eat it alone. 60.Renouncing wife, children, and relatives, and ignoring you demigods, My devotees meditate on Me day and night. Day and night I think of them. |
