At Kapilāśrama, the steady King Prācīnabarhi fixed his mind on Govinda’s lotus feet and, freed from all attachment, served Him constantly with bhakti; thus he attained full liberation and a spiritual state qualitatively equal to the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
There is special significance in the words tat-sāmyatām agāt, which indicate that the King attained the position of possessing the same status or the same form as that of the Lord. This definitely proves that the Supreme Personality of Godhead is always a person. In His impersonal feature, He is the rays of His transcendental body. When a living entity attains spiritual perfection, he also attains the same type of body, known as sac-cid-ānanda-vigraha. This spiritual body never mixes with the material elements.

This verse states that by worshiping Govinda’s lotus feet with one-pointed devotion and freedom from attachment, a devotee attains the Lord’s sāmyatā—spiritual equality or parity, i.e., liberation and divine status.

Choose a daily fixed practice centered on Govinda—such as japa, kīrtana, or reading Bhagavatam—reduce distracting attachments, and repeatedly bring the mind back to the Lord’s feet with sincerity.
