Gratitude Meets Humble Service
“I shall never be able to repay My debt to you.”
What the purport teaches
- The Lord told Govinda that He could never repay His debt to him.
- Govinda replied that Lord Jagannātha had saved Him.
- Calling himself insignificant, Govinda gave the credit to Lord Jagannātha rather than claiming it for himself.
