TRANSLATION
After hearing the discourses between the Yamaditas and the
Visnuditas, Ajamila could understand the religious principles that
act under the three modes of material nature. These principles are
mentioned in the three Vedas. He could also understand the tran-
scendental religious principles, which are above the modes of
material nature and which concern the relationship between the
living being and the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Furthermore, Ajamila heard glorification of the name, fame,
qualities and pastimes of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He
thus became a perfectly pure devotee. He could then remember his
past sinful activities, which he greatly regretted having performed.
