🪷 ŚB 6.1.16

Sanskrit, transliteration, word meanings, and translation for steady Bhāgavata reading.

Sanskrit

न तथा ह्यघवान् राजन्पूयेत तपआदिभि: । यथा कृष्णार्पितप्राणस्तत्पुरुषनिषेवया ॥ १६ ॥

Transliteration

na tathā hy aghavān rājan pūyeta tapa-ādibhiḥ yathā kṛṣṇārpita-prāṇas tat-puruṣa-niṣevayā
Synonyms
na — not; tathā — so much; hi — certainly; agha-vān — a man full of sinful activities; rājan — O King; pūyeta — can become purified; tapaḥ-ādibhiḥ — by executing the principles of austerity, penance, brahmacarya and other purifying processes; yathā — as much as; kṛṣṇa-arpita-prāṇaḥ — the devotee whose life is fully Kṛṣṇa conscious; tat-puruṣa-niṣevayā — by engaging his life in the service of Kṛṣṇa’s representative.

Translation

My dear King, if a sinful person engages in the service of a bona fide devotee of the Lord and thus learns how to dedicate his life unto the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa, he can be completely purified. One cannot be purified merely by undergoing austerity, penance, brahmacarya and the other methods of atonement I have previously described.
