TEXT 112

sannyāsī--cit-kaṇa jīva, kiraṇa-kaṇa-sama
ṣaḍ-aiśvarya-pūrṇa kṛṣṇa haya sūryopama


SYNONYMS

sannyāsī—a person in the renounced order of life; cit-kaṇa jīva—a small fragmental living being; kiraṇa—of sunshine; kaṇa—small particle; sama—like; ṣaṭ-aiśvarya-pūrṇa—full in six opulences; kṛṣṇa—Lord Kṛṣṇa; haya—is; sūrya-upama—compared to the sun.


TRANSLATION

"A sannyāsī in the renounced order is certainly part and parcel of the complete whole, just as a shining molecular particle of sunshine is part and parcel of the sun itself. Kṛṣṇa is like the sun, full of six opulences, but the living entity is only a fragment of the complete whole.
