Translation and purport composed by disciples of Śrīla Prabhupāda


TRANSLATION

Who am I? A sinful, poor friend of a brāhmaṇa. And who is Kṛṣṇa? The Supreme Personality of Godhead, full in six opulences. Nonetheless, He has embraced me with His two arms.


PURPORT

This translation is from Śrīla Prabhupāda's English rendering of Caitanya-caritāmṛta (CC Madhya 7.143).

Sudāmā was so humble that he considered his poverty to be his own fault, a result of sin. Such a mentality is in accord with the saying, dāridrya-doṣo guṇa-rāśi-nāśī: "The discrepancy of being poor ruins heaps of good qualities."
