Text 23] Ajamila Delivered by the Visnuditas 113

PURPORT

Vaisnavas are also Visnuditas because they carry out the orders of
Krsna. Lord Krsna is very eager for all the conditioned souls rotting in
this material world to surrender to Him and be saved from material
pangs in this life and punishment in hellish conditions after death. A
Vaisnava therefore tries to bring conditioned souls to their senses. Those
who are fortunate like Ajamila are saved by the Visnuditas, or
Vaisnavas, and thus they return back home, back to Godhead.
