“My dear Lord, I beg to request You and Your companions, the great sages and brāhmaṇas, to remain at my place at least for a few days so that this family of the famous King Nimi may be sanctified by the dust of Your lotus feet.”
Purport (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
You, with (sametah) the sages should stay in my house and purify it with your feet.
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
Having praised the Lord, he now humbly makes his request. In saying, “Stay for some days” he shows his modesty. O great Lord (bhūman)! Though you are complete in all respects, out of mercy fulfill my desire. Stay in my house with the sages. Instead of nivasa sometimes nivasan is seen. Nimi was also your devotee.
Purport (Sanatana Goswami)
Having praised the Lord, he now humbly makes his request. In saying, “Stay for some days” he shows his modesty. Not specifying a short time, he hints that the Lord should stay forever.
“Considering the Yadus and others, I cannot ignore staying at other places also.” O all-pervading Lord! By your śakti you can stay anything else as well as here. Purify this dynasty involved with impersonal philosophy of advaita ideas. Or the dynasty has committed offense because Nimi
caused men’s eyes to blink. Thus the gopīs’ vision of Kṛṣṇa was obstructed. Purify our family of that offense.
