Ajāmila Delivered: Viṣṇudūtas Establish the Supremacy of the Holy Name
अथापि मे दुर्भगस्य विबुधोत्तमदर्शने । भवितव्यं मङ्गलेन येनात्मा मे प्रसीदति ॥ ३२ ॥
athāpi me durbhagasya vibudhottama-darśane bhavitavyaṁ maṅgalena yenātmā me prasīdati
Gewiss bin ich höchst verwerflich und unglücklich, versunken in einem Ozean sündhafter Taten; und doch durfte ich aufgrund früheren Verdienstes jene vier erhabenen Persönlichkeiten sehen, die Besten unter den Himmlischen, die kamen, mich zu retten. Durch ihren segensreichen Besuch ist meine Seele beruhigt, und große Freude erfüllt mich.
As stated in Caitanya-caritāmṛta ( Madhya 22.54) :
