Translation
The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Hari, who contains within Himself all the demigods, must be satisfied with me. Indeed, He has brought me to this suffering condition and forced me to experience detachment, which is the boat to carry me over this ocean of material life.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
The Supreme Lord, who comprises all the devatās, must be satisfied with me. He has brought me to this suffering condition and detachment, which is the boat to carry me over this ocean of material life.
Gaining intelligence he becomes joyful. This is expressed in three verses. By the Lord’s satisfaction, I have attained this condition. And by his satisfaction with me, I have become indifferent, which is a boat to cross saṁsāra.
Purport
The
brāhmaṇa
could understand that the demigods, who award different types of sense gratification as the result of one’s fruitive activities, cannot bestow the highest benefit in life. When the
brāhmaṇa
lost all his property he could understand that the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who comprises all the demigods, had given him the highest perfection, not by awarding sense gratification but by saving him from the ocean of material enjoyment. Being thus deprived of the opportunity to cultivate religiosity, wealth, sense gratification and liberation, the
brāhmaṇa
became detached, and transcendental knowledge awakened within his heart.
