Verse Text
(21) śuciḥ –
pāvanaś ca viśuddhaś cety ucyate dvividhaḥ śuciḥ |
pāvanaḥ pāpa-nāśī syād viśuddhas tyakta-dūsaṇaḥ ||102||
Translation
There are two types of purity: pāvana and viśuddha. Pāvana means he who destroys sin and viśuddha means he who is without faults.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
21. Pure
There are two kinds of supreme purity. When one type is possessed, one is able to deliver a sinful person. When the other type is possessed, one does not do anything which is impure. A person who possesses either of these qualities is called supremely pure. Kṛṣṇa is both; He can deliver all sinful conditioned souls, and at the same time, He never does anything by which He can be contaminated.
