Kṛṣṇa Leads Kālayavana to Mucukunda; The Yavana Is Burned; Mucukunda’s Prayers and Boon of Bhakti
प्रलोभितो वरैर्यत्त्वमप्रमादाय विद्धि तत् । न धीरेकान्तभक्तानामाशीर्भिर्भिद्यते क्वचित् ॥ ५९ ॥
pralobhito varair yat tvam apramādāya viddhi tat na dhīr ekānta-bhaktānām āśīrbhir bhidyate kvacit
یہ سمجھ لو کہ میں نے تمہیں ورदानوں سے للچایا صرف اس لیے کہ تمہاری بے غفلت ثابت ہو۔ میرے خالص، یکسو بھکتوں کی ثابت قدم عقل کبھی دنیوی نعمتوں سے منحرف نہیں ہوتی۔
