TEXT 200

hena 'viṣaya' haite kṛṣṇa uddhārilā tomā'
kahana nā yāya kṛṣṇa-
kṛpāra mahimā"


SYNONYMS

hena viṣaya—such a fallen condition of material enjoyment; haite—from; kṛṣṇa—Lord Kṛṣṇa; uddhārilā tomā'-has delivered you; kahana nā yāya—cannot be described; kṛṣṇa-kṛpāra—of the mercy of Lord Kṛṣṇa; mahimā—the glories.


TRANSLATION

"By His own free will, Lord Kṛṣṇa has delivered you from such a condemned materialistic life. Therefore the glories of Lord Kṛṣṇa's causeless mercy cannot be expressed."


PURPORT

in the Brahma-saṁhitā (5.54) it is said, karmāṇi nirdahati kintu ca bhakti-bha-jām. Lord Kṛṣṇa is so merciful that He can stop the reaction of karma for His devotee. Everyone-from a small insect called indra-gopa up to Indra, the King of heaven-is bound by the reactions of fruitive activities.

yas tv indra-gopam athavendram aho sva-karma-
bandhānurūpa-phala-bhājanam ātanoti
karmāṇi nirdahati kintu ca bhakti-bhājāṁ
govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi

Everyone, whether like an insect or the King of heaven, is entangled and bound by the actions and reactions of his karma However, when one becomes a pure devotee, free from material desires and from bondage to karma, jñāna and yoga, one is freed from material actions and reactions by the causeless mercy of Kṛṣṇa. One cannot express sufficient gratitude to Kṛṣṇa for being freed from the materialistic way of life.
