bhajantim—willing to serve; me—to me; dayam—mercy; kuru—do; etavan—
such a measure; paurusah—for any gentleman; dharmah—religious principle;

TRANSLATION
Kalakanya continued: O gentle one, I am now present before you to
serve you. Please accept me and thus show me mercy. It is a gentleman’s
greatest duty to be compassionate upon a person who is distressed.
PURPORT
Yavana-raja, the King of the Yavanas, could also refuse to accept
Kalakanya, daughter of Time, but he considered the request due to the
order of Narada Muni. Thus he accepted Kalakanya in a different way.
In other words, the injunctions of Narada Muni, or the path of devotional
service, can be accepted by anyone within the three worlds, and certainly
by the King of the Yavanas. Lord Caitanya Himself requested everyone to
preach the cult of bhakti-yoga all over the world, in every village and town.
Preachers in the Krsna consciousness movement have actually experienced
that even the yavanas and mlecchas have taken to spiritual life on the
strength of Narada Muni’s pancaratrika-vidhi. When mankind follows the
disciplic succession, as recommended by Caitanya Mahaprabhu, everyone
throughout the world will benefit.
