pūrteṣṭa-datta-niyama-vrata-deva-vipra gurv-arcanādibhir alaṁ bhagavān pareśaḥ ārādhito yadi gadāgraja etya pāṇiṁ gṛhṇātu me na damaghoṣa-sutādayo ’nye
WORD BY WORD
TRANSLATION
| If I have sufficiently worshiped the Supreme Personality of Godhead by pious works, sacrifices, charity, rituals and vows, and also by worshiping the demigods, brāhmaṇas and gurus, then may Gadāgraja come and take my hand, and not Damaghoṣa’s son or anyone else.
|
PURPORT
| The ācāryas comment as follows on this verse: “Rukmiṇī felt that no one could obtain Lord Kṛṣṇa by the efforts of a single lifetime. Therefore she earnestly pointed out the pious activities she had performed in that life and previous lives, hoping to convince Śrī Kṛṣṇa to come.”
