Text 24] Attack by Candavega on the City of Puranjana 1277

tatah—thereafter; vihata-sankalpa—being disappointed in her determina-
tion; kanyaka—the daughter of Time; yavana-isvaram—unto the king of the
untouchables; maya upadistam—indicated by me; asadya—having ap-
proached; vavre—accepted; namna—of the name; bhayam—fear; patim—as

her husband.

TRANSLATION

After she was thus disappointed by me, with my permission she ap-
proached the King of the Yavanas, whose name was Bhaya, or fear, and
she accepted him as her husband.

PURPORT

Being the most perfect Vaisnava, Sri Narada Muni is always willing to
do good to others, even to one who curses him. Although Kalakanya, the
daughter of Time, was refused by Narada Muni, she was given a shelter.
Of course no one could give her shelter, but a Vaisnava gives shelter
somewhere to such an unfortunate girl. When jara, or old age, attacks,
everyone dwindles and deteriorates. In one stroke Narada Muni gave
shelter to Kalakanya and counterattacked the ordinary karmis. If one
accepts the instructions of Narada Muni, the ocean of fear (bhaya) can be
very quickly removed by the grace of that great Vaisnava.
