1178 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 4, Ch. 25

have a great desire to satisfy your senses, and all my friends and | shall
try our best in all respects to fulfill your desires.

PURPORT

The living entity comes down into this material world for sense gratifica-
tion, and his intelligence, represented by the woman, gives him the proper
direction by which he can satisfy his senses to their best capacity. In
actuality, however, intelligence comes from the Supersoul, or the Supreme
Personality of Godhead, and He gives full facility to the living entity who
has come down to this material world. As stated in Bhagavad-gita:

vyavasayatmika buddhir
ekeha kuru-nandana

bahu-sakha hy anantds ca
buddhayo ’vyavasayinam

“Those who are on this path are resolute in purpose, and their aim is one.
O beloved child of the Kurus, the intelligence of those who are irresolute is
many-branched.” (Bg. 2.41)

When a devotee is advancing toward spiritual realization, his only aim is
the service of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He doesn’t care for any
other material or spiritual activity. King Purarijana represents the ordinary
living entity, and the woman represents the ordinary living entity’s intelli-
gence. Combined, the living entity enjoys his material senses, and the
intelligence supplies all paraphernalia for his enjoyment. As soon as he
enters the human form, the living entity is entrapped by a family tradition,
nationality, customs, etc. These are all supplied by the mayd of the Supreme
Personality of Godhead. Thus the living entity, under the bodily concep-
tion of life, utilizes his intelligence to his best capacity in order to satisfy
his senses.
