Translation
A human being who concentrates on Me as the upholder of religious principles, the personification of purity and the Lord of Śvetadvīpa obtains the pure existence in which he is freed from the six waves of material disturbance, namely hunger, thirst, decay, death, grief and illusion.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
A human being who concentrates on me as dharma, purity and the Lord of Śvetadvīpa, obtains a pure existence in which he is freed from the six waves of material disturbance, namely hunger, thirst, decay, death, grief and illusion.
Now the secondary siddhis are discussed. He attains purity (śvetatām). This is the siddhi called “absence of waves.”
Purport
The Lord now begins to explain the processes for obtaining the ten secondary mystic perfections derived from the modes of nature. Within the material world Lord Viṣṇu, addressed here as
śvetadvīpa-pati,
the Lord of Śvetadvīpa, governs the material mode of goodness and is thus called
śuddha
and
dharma-maya,
or the personification of purity and piety. By worshiping Lord Viṣṇu as the personification of material goodness one obtains the material benediction of freedom from bodily disturbance.
