तैस्तान्यघानि पूयन्ते तपोदानव्रतादिभि: । नाधर्मजं तद्‌धृदयं तदपीशाङ्‌घ्रिसेवया ॥ १७ ॥

Transliteration

tais tāny aghāni pūyante tapo-dāna-vratādibhiḥ nādharmajaṁ tad-dhṛdayaṁ tad apīśāṅghri-sevayā
Synonyms
taiḥ — by those; tāni — all those; aghāni — sinful activities and their results; pūyante — become vanquished; tapaḥ — austerity; dāna — charity; vrata-ādibhiḥ — by vows and other such activities; na — not; adharma-jam — produced from irreligious actions; tat — of that; hṛdayam — the heart; tat — that; api — also; īśa-aṅghri — of the lotus feet of the Lord; sevayā — by service.

Translation

Although one may neutralize the reactions of sinful life through austerity, charity, vows and other such methods, these pious activities cannot uproot the material desires in one’s heart. However, if one serves the lotus feet of the Personality of Godhead, he is immediately freed from all such contaminations.
