🪷 ŚB 4.24.57
Sanskrit, transliteration, word meanings, and translation for steady Bhāgavata reading.
Sanskrit
क्षणार्धेनापि तुलये न स्वर्गं नापुनर्भवम् ।
भगवत्सङ्गिसङ्गस्य मर्त्यानां किमुताशिष: ॥ ५७ ॥
Transliteration
kṣaṇārdhenāpi tulaye
na svargaṁ nāpunar-bhavam
bhagavat-saṅgi-saṅgasya
martyānāṁ kim utāśiṣaḥ
Synonyms
kṣaṇa-ardhena — by half a moment; api — even; tulaye — compare; na — never; svargam — heavenly planets; na — neither; apunaḥ-bhavam — merging into the Supreme; bhagavat — the Supreme Personality of Godhead; saṅgi — associate; saṅgasya — one who takes advantage of associating; martyānām — of the conditioned soul; kim uta — what is there; āśiṣaḥ — blessings.
Translation
If one by chance associates with a devotee, even for a fraction of a moment, he no longer is subject to attraction by the results of karma or jñāna. What interest then can he have in the benedictions of the demigods, who are subject to the laws of birth and death?
