Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta · Text Ādi 5.226
সেই অপরাধে তার নাহিক নিস্তার ।
ঘোর নরকেতে পড়ে, কি বলিব আর ॥ ২২৬ ॥
sei aparādhe tāra nāhika nistāra
ghora narakete paḍe, ki baliba āra
For that offense, he cannot be liberated. Rather, he will fall into a terrible hellish condition. What more should I say?
Read Śrīla Prabhupāda's purport on Vedabase.ioThree study points drawn from the translation and purport.
Those serious about devotional service do not distinguish the Lord’s form made of clay, metal, stone or wood from His original form.
An ordinary person differs from a photograph or statue, but Lord Kṛṣṇa does not differ from His worshipable form. The Lord is absolute.
Stone, wood and metal are the Lord’s energies, and energy is never separate from its source. The verse warns that the offense described prevents liberation and leads to a terrible hellish condition.
