TEXT No. 15

Tam ma upayatam pratiy antu vipra
Ganga Cha devi dhrita chittam ishe
Dwijopasristah kuhakas takshako va
Dasatu alam gayata vishnugathah.


ENGLISH SYNONYMS

Tam—for that reason, Ma—me, Upayatam—taken shelter of, Pratiyantu—just take it from me, Vipra—oh the brahmins, Ganga—mother Ganges, Cha—also, Devi—direct representative of the Lord, Dhrita—taken up, Chittam—heart, Ishe—unto the Lord, Dwijopasristah—created by the brahmin, Kuhaka—something magical, Takshaka—the snake-bird, Va—either, Dasatu—let it bite, Alam—without further delay, Gayata—please go on singing, Vishnugathah—narration of the deeds of Vishnu.


TRANSLATION

Oh the brahmins just accept me as the completely surrendered soul and let mother Ganges the representative of the Lord also accept me like that as I have already taken up in my heart the lotus feet of the Lord. Let the snake bird or something magical created by the brahmin, bite me at once but what I want that you all may go on singing the deeds of Lord Vishnu.


PURPORT

As soon as one is given up completely unto the Lotus feet of the Supreme Lord one is not at all afraid of death. The atmosphere created by the presence of great devotees of the Lord on the bank of the Ganges and Maharaj Parikshit's completely acceptance of the Lord's Lotus feet all were sufficient guarantee for the King for going back to home back to Godhead. He became thus absolutely free from all fear of death.
