Text 202] Lord Caitanya Meets Raghunatha dasa Gosvami 293

yas tv indra-gopam athavendram aho sva-karma-
bandhanurdpa-phala-bhdjanam atanoti

karmani nirdahati kintu ca bhakti-bhajam
govindam dadi-purusam tam aham bhajami

Everyone, whether like an insect or the King of heaven, is entangled and bound by
the actions and reactions of his karma. However, when one becomes a pure
devotee, free from material desires and from bondage to karma, jfidna and yoga,
one is freed from material actions and reactions by the causeless mercy of Krsna.
One cannot express sufficient gratitude to Krsna for being freed from the ma-
terialistic way of life.
