TEXT 227

nirgrantha-śabde kahe tabe 'vyādha', 'nirdhana'

sādhu-saṅge seha kare śrī-kṛṣṇa-bhajana

SYNONYMS

nirgrantha-śabde — by the word nirgrantha; kahe — is said; tabe — therefore; vyādha — a hunter; nirdhana — without any riches; sādhu-saṅge — by the association of a saintly person; seha — he also; kare — engages himself; śrī-kṛṣṇa-bhajana — in the devotional service of Lord Kṛṣṇa.

TRANSLATION

"The word 'nirgrantha,' when combined with 'api' used in the sense of certainty, indicates a person who is a hunter by profession or who is very poor. Nonetheless, when such a person associates with a great saint like Nārada, he engages in Lord Kṛṣṇa’s devotional service.
