Synonyms
kāma-dhiyaḥ — desires for sense gratification; tvayi — in You; racitāḥ — performed; na — not; parama — O Supreme Personality of Godhead; rohanti — do grow (produce other bodies); yathā — just as; karambha-bījāni — sterilized or fried seeds; jñāna-ātmani — in You, whose existence is in full knowledge; aguṇa-maye — who is not affected by the material qualities; guṇa-gaṇataḥ — from the material qualities; asya — of a person; dvandva-jālāni — the networks of duality.

Translation

O Supreme Lord, if persons obsessed with material desires for sense gratification through material opulence worship You, who are the source of all knowledge and are transcendental to material qualities, they are not subject to material rebirth, just as sterilized or fried seeds do not produce plants. Living entities are subjected to the repetition of birth and death because they are conditioned by material nature, but since You are transcendental, one who is inclined to associate with You in transcendence escapes the conditions of material nature.
