adya no janma-sāphalyaṁ vidyāyās tapaso dṛśaḥ tvayā saṅgamya sad-gatyā yad antaḥ śreyasāṁ paraḥ
WORD BY WORD
TRANSLATION
| Today our birth, education, austerity and vision have all become perfect because we have been able to associate with You, the goal of all saintly persons. Indeed, You Yourself are the ultimate, supreme blessing.
|
PURPORT
| The sages here contrast their respect for the Lord with His reciprocal worship of them. Lord Kṛṣṇa honors brāhmaṇas as a means of instructing less intelligent men, whereas He is in fact absolutely independent. The brāhmaṇas who worship Him, on the other hand, benefit themselves more than they can imagine.
