कतमोऽपि न वेन: स्यात्पञ्चानां पुरुषं प्रति । तस्मात् केनाप्युपायेन मन: कृष्णे निवेशयेत् ॥ ३२ ॥

Transliteration

katamo ’pi na venaḥ syāt pañcānāṁ puruṣaṁ prati tasmāt kenāpy upāyena manaḥ kṛṣṇe niveśayet
Synonyms
katamaḥ api — anyone; na — not; venaḥ — the atheistic King Vena; syāt — would adopt; pañcānām — of the five (previously mentioned); puruṣam — the Supreme Personality of Godhead; prati — in regard to; tasmāt — therefore; kenāpi — by any; upāyena — means; manaḥ — the mind; kṛṣṇe — in Kṛṣṇa; niveśayet — one should fix.

Translation

Somehow or other, one must consider the form of Kṛṣṇa very seriously. Then, by one of the five different processes mentioned above, one can return home, back to Godhead. Atheists like King Vena, however, being unable to think of Kṛṣṇa’s form in any of these five ways, cannot attain salvation. Therefore, one must somehow think of Kṛṣṇa, whether in a friendly way or inimically.
