TRANSLATION

It is not at all wonderful that simply by being covered by the
dust of your lotus feet, one immediately attains the platform of
pure devotional service to Adhoksaja, which is not available even
to great demigods like Brahma. By associating with you just for a
moment, I am now freed from all argument, false prestige and lack
of discrimination, which are the roots of entanglement in the
material world. Now I am free from all these problems.

PURPORT

Association with pure devotees certainly frees one from the material
clutches. This is certainly true of King Rahigana’s association with Jada
Bharata. King Rahigana was immediately freed from the misgivings of
material association. The arguments offered by pure devotees to their
disciples are so convincing that even a dull-headed disciple is im-
mediately enlightened with spiritual knowledge.
