এই বাক্যে সাক্ষী মোর আছে মহাজন ।
যাঁর বাক্য সত্য করি মানে ত্রিভুবন ॥” ৭৬ ॥
ei vākye sākṣī mora āche mahājana
yāṅra vākya satya kari māne tribhuvana”
“Thus I have called upon a great personality in this transaction. I have asked the Supreme Godhead to be my witness. The entire world accepts the words of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.”
Read Śrīla Prabhupāda's purport on Vedabase.ioThree study points drawn from the translation and purport.
The young brāhmaṇa accepted the Supreme Personality of Godhead as the topmost authority. He accepted Lord Kṛṣṇa’s words without hesitation and had firm faith in His consistency.
A pure devotee with firm faith in the Lord’s words is considered a most learned scholar, the topmost aristocrat and the richest man. All godly qualities automatically exist in such a devotee.
The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement presents the words of Kṛṣṇa with full faith in Him and His servants in the disciplic succession. Kṛṣṇa supplies what is needed; attaining His favor leaves no need for what a mundane person considers material assets.
