Translation and purport composed by disciples of Śrīla Prabhupāda


TRANSLATION

Terrified, about to die, a man collapses on his bed. Although his voice is faltering and he is hardly conscious of what he is saying, if he utters the holy name of the Supreme Lord he can be freed from the reaction of his fruitive work and achieve the supreme destination. But still people in the age of Kali will not worship the Supreme Lord.


PURPORT

You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink.
