Text 10] The Residents of Jambiadvipa Offer Prayers 171

vious of anyone else; everyone thinks of the welfare of others. Therefore
Prahlada Maharaja prays that everyone’s mind may become gentle by
being fixed at the lotus feet of Krsna (bhajatad adhoksaje). As indicated
elsewhere in Srimad-Bhaégavatam (sa vai manah krsna-padéravin-
dayoh) and as advised by Lord Krsna in Bhagavad-gita (18.65), man-
mana bhava mad-bhaktah, one should constantly think of the lotus feet
of Lord Krsna. Then one’s mind will certainly be cleansed (ceto-dar-
pana-marjanam). Materialists always think of sense gratification, but
Prahlada Maharaja prays that the Lord’s mercy will change their minds
and they will stop thinking of sense gratification. If they think of Krsna
always, everything will be all right. Some people argue that if everyone
thought of Krsna in that way, the whole universe would be vacated
because everyone would go back home, back to Godhead. However, Srila
Visvanatha Cakravati Thakura says that this is impossible because the
living entities are innumerable. If one set of living entities is actually
delivered by the Krsna consciousness movement, another set will fill the
entire universe.
