Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Anyone who regularly rises early in the morning and carefully chants with devotion the glories of Kṛṣṇa’s completely spiritual method of disappearance will certainly achieve that same supreme destination. Padavīm means the path of disappearing. By using the words param and anuttamam it is indicted that the pastime of the Lord’s disappearance is composed completely of eternity, knowledge and bliss. It suggests that intelligent people regard the opinion of common people that his disappearance was material to be insignificant.
