tāṅra pratijñā—His determination; more—unto me; nā—not; karibe—will do; daraśana—seeing; mora pratijñā—my promise; tāṅhā vinā—without Him; chāḍiba—I will give up; jīvana—life.

Mahārāja Pratāparudra continued, "If Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is determined not to see me, then I am determined to give up my life if I do not see Him.

A devotee with Mahārāja Pratāparudra's determination will certainly be victorious in advancing in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Śrī Kṛṣṇa confirms this in the Bhagavad-gītā (BG 9.14):
#dl##dd#satataṁ kīrtayanto māṁ#/dd#
#dd#yatantaś ca dṛḍha-vratāḥ#/dd#
#dd#namasyantaś ca māṁ bhaktyā#/dd#
#dd#nitya-yuktā upāsate#/dd##/dl#
"Always chanting My glories, endeavoring with great determination, bowing down before Me, these great souls perpetually worship Me with devotion."
#$p#These are the symptoms of a mahātmā engaged in the Lord's service in full Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Thus Mahārāja Pratāparudra's determination is very much exalted and is called dṛḍha-vrata. Because of this determination, he was finally able to receive Lord Caitanya's direct mercy.
