SYNONYMS

go-brahmana-vaisnave—to the cows, brahmanas and Vaisnavas; hirhsa—
violence and envy; karyachi—I have done; apara—unlimitedly; sei papa ha-ite—
from those sinful activities; mora—my; ha-uka—let there be; nistaéra—liberation.

TRANSLATION

The Mohammedan governor then prayed for liberation from the unlimited
sinful activities he had previously incurred by being envious of brahmanas
and Vaisnavas and killing cows.

PURPORT

By chanting the holy names Krsna and Hari, one is certainly liberated from sinful
activities, such as killing cows or insulting brahmanas and Vaisnavas. It is most sin-
ful to kill cows and insult brahmanas and Vaisnavas. The karma incurred by such
activity is very great, but one can immediately nullify all this karma by surrender-
ing to Lord Krsna and chanting His holy name. After being released from one’s sin-
ful reactions (karma), one becomes eager to serve the Lord. This is the test. Since
the Mohammedan governor was immediately purified in the presence of Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu, he could utter the names of Krsna and Hari. Consequently
he was anxious to render some service, and the Lord, anxious to fulfill his desires,
immediately had the devotee Mukunda Datta inform the governor that there was
some service to render.
