Text 8] The Activities of Maharaja Agnidhra 91
Soce tato vinukha-cetasa indriyartha-
maya-sukhaya bhoram udvahato vimiidhan
“They are rotting in material activities for transient material pleasure
and spoiling their lives toiling all day and night simply for sense
gratification, with no attachment for love of Godhead. | am simply
lamenting for them and devising various plans to deliver them from the
clutches of maya.” (Bhag. 7.9.43) Karmis who act very seriously for
sense gratification are always referred to in the sdstras by such terms as
pramatta, vimukha and vimiidha. They are killed by maya. However,
one who is apramatta, a sane, sober person, a dhira, knows very well
that a human being’s primary duty is to render service to the Supreme
Person. Maya is always ready to kill those who are pramatta with her in-
visible bows and arrows. Agnidhra questioned Pirvacitti about this.
