people to take toit. In this way the student interpreted the glories of the holy name.
This is called artha-vada, and it is one of the ten offenses at the lotus feet of the
holy name of the Lord. There are many kinds of offenses, but the offense
known as ndéma-aparédha, an offense at the lotus feet of the holy name, is
extremely dangerous. The Lord therefore warned everyone not to see the
face of the offender. He immediately took a bath in the Ganges with all His
clothes to teach everyone to avoid such anm@ma-aparadha. The holy name is identical
with the Supreme Personality of Godhead. There is no difference between the per-
son God and His holy name. This is the absolute position of the Supreme Personality
of Godhead. Therefore one who distinguishes between the Lord and His name is
called a pésagdi, or nonbeliever, an atheistic demon. Glorification of the holy name
is glorification of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. One should never attempt
to distinguish between the Lord and His name or interpret the glories of the holy
name as mere exaggerations.
