ca-Sabde ‘eva’, ‘api’-sabda samuccaye
‘atmaramé eva’ hafid Sri-krsna bhajaye

SYNONYMS

ca-Sabde—by the word ca; eva—the word eva; api-sabda—the word api;
samuccaye—in the sense of aggregation; atmaramah eva—all the atmaramas (all
kinds of living entities); hafia—being; sri-krsna bhajaye—become engaged in the
service of Lord Krsna.
TRANSLATION

“In that case, by the word ca, the word eva is meant. The word api can be
taken in the sense of aggregation. Thus the verse would read atmarama eva;
that is, ‘even all kinds of living beings worship Krsna.’

PURPORT

It is here mentioned that every living entity is 4tmarama. Temporarily covered
by the influence of maya, the living entity serves his senses, which are repre-
sented as kama-krodha-lobha-moha-mada-matsarya. In the material condition, all
living entities are engaged in sense gratification, but when they associate with
devotees who follow the regulative principles, they become purified and
awakened to their original consciousness. They then attempt to satisfy the senses
of Lord Krsna and engage in His devotional service.
