Kṛṣṇa Visits Trivakrā; Akrūra’s Praise and the Hastināpura Mission
अद्येश नो वसतय: खलु भूरिभागा य: सर्वदेवपितृभूतनृदेवमूर्ति: । यत्पादशौचसलिलं त्रिजगत् पुनाति स त्वं जगद्गुरुरधोक्षज या: प्रविष्ट: ॥ २५ ॥
adyeśa no vasatayaḥ khalu bhūri-bhāgā yaḥ sarva-deva-pitṛ-bhūta-nṛ-deva-mūrtiḥ yat-pāda-śauca-salilaṁ tri-jagat punāti sa tvaṁ jagad-gurur adhokṣaja yāḥ praviṣṭaḥ
今日,主啊,因您进入我家,我的居所得大福德。您是诸天、祖灵、众生、人类与天神之本体;洗涤您莲足之水能净化三界。噢,超越感官的阿多克沙阇,您实为宇宙之师。
Śrīla Śrīdhara Svāmī has nicely interpreted Akrūra’s feelings as follows:
This verse states that the water used to wash the Lord’s feet purifies the three worlds, highlighting the Lord’s transcendental purity and the sanctifying potency of contact with Him.
They recognize Him as the universal spiritual master and the Supreme Lord beyond material perception, whose presence blesses and sanctifies their homes and lives.
By honoring the Lord’s presence through devotional practices—especially humble service, remembrance, and reverence for sanctified items like caraṇāmṛta—one cultivates purity and gratitude in daily life.
