Verse Text
tathā śrī-nāradoktau ca—
nṛtyatāṁ śrī-pater agre tālikā-vādanair bhṛśam |
uḍḍīyante śarīra-sthāḥ sarve pātaka-pakṣiṇaḥ ||128||
Translation
It is also said by Nārada: All the birds of sin situated in the body fly away for those who dance before the Lord with vigorous clapping of the hands.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
In the same book there is a statement by Nārada wherein he asserts, “From the body of any person who claps and dances before the Deity, showing manifestations of ecstasy, all the birds of sinful activities fly away upward.” Just as by clapping the hands one can cause many birds to fly away, similarly the birds of all sinful activities which are sitting on the body can be made to fly away simply by dancing and clapping before the Deity of Kṛṣṇa.
