called atmanepada. In that case, the word “do” in English is kurvante in Sanskrit.
When things are done for others, the verb form changes to kurvanti. Thus Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu informed Sanatana Gosvami that in the atmarama verse the
verb kurvanti means that things should be done only for the satisfaction of Krsna.
This is supported by the grammarian Panini. The verb is formed as atmanepada
when the work is to be done for one’s own benefit, and when it is done for
others, it is called parasmaipada. Thus the verb is formed according to whether
something is done for one’s self-satisfaction or for another's satisfaction.
