sakrt—once only; manah—the mind; krsna-pada-aravindayoh—
unto the two lotus feet of Lord Krsna; nivesitam—completely surren-
dered; tat—of Krsna; guna-ragi—which is somewhat attached to the
qualities, name, fame and paraphernalia; yath—by whom; iha—in this
world; na—not; te—such persons; yamam— Yamaraja, the superinten-
dent of death; pasa-bhrtah —those who carry ropes (to catch sinful per-
sons); ca—and; tat—his; bhatan—order carriers; svapne api—even in
dreams; pasyanti—see; hi—indeed; cirna-niskrtah—who have per-
formed the right type of atonement.

TRANSLATION
Although not having fully realized Krsna, persons who have

even once surrendered completely unto His lotus feet and who
have become attracted to His name, form, qualities and pastimes
are completely freed of all sinful reactions, for they have thus ac-
cepted the true method of atonement. Even in dreams, such sur-
rendered souls do not see Yamaraja or his order carriers, who are
equipped with ropes to bind the sinful.

PURPORT
Krsna says in Bhagavad-gita (18.66):

sarva-dharman parityajya
mam eka saranarm vraja

aham tvam sarva-papebhyo
moksayisyami ma sucah
