Nirodha· Winding upConstant Remembrance and Return to the Lord
“These two associates of Lord Viṣṇu — Jaya and Vijaya — maintained a feeling of enmity for a very long time. Because of always thinking of Kṛṣṇa in this way, they regained the shelter of the Lord, having returned home, back to Godhead.”
What the purport teaches
- Whatever their position, Jaya and Vijaya always thought of Kṛṣṇa, even through prolonged enmity. They ultimately regained the Lord’s shelter.
- There is no difference between Kṛṣṇa’s body and Nārāyaṇa’s body. Through Kṛṣṇa’s body, the two associates returned to Vaikuṇṭha.
- Although they seemed to attain sāyujya-mukti by entering Kṛṣṇa’s body, they actually resumed their positions as Lord Viṣṇu’s doorkeepers.
