TRANSLATION
The great sage Nārada continued: My dear King Prācīnabarhi, as soon as King Purañjana saw his Queen lying on the ground, appearing like a mendicant, he immediately became bewildered.
PURPORT
In this verse the word  avadhutām  is especially significant, for it refers to a mendicant who does not take care of his body. Since the Queen was lying on the ground without bedding and proper dress, King Purañjana became very much aggrieved. In other words, he repented that he had neglected his intelligence and had engaged himself in the forest in killing animals. In other words, when one's good intelligence is separated or neglected, he fully engages in sinful activities. Due to neglecting one's good intelligence, or Krṣṇa consciousness, one becomes bewildered and engages in sinful activities. Upon realizing this, a man becomes repentant. Such repentance is described by Narottama dāsa Thākura:  hari hari viphale janama goṅāinu/ manuṣya-janama pāiyā, rādhā-krṣṇa nā bhajiyā, jāniyā śuniyā viṣa khāinu . Narottama dāsa Thākura herein says that he repents for having spoiled his human life and knowingly drunk poison. By not being Krṣṇa conscious, one willingly drinks the poison of material life. The purport is that one certainly becomes addicted to sinful activities when he becomes devoid of his good chaste wife, or when he has lost his good sense and does not take to Krṣṇa consciousness.
