TRANSLATION
Were it not for my past devotional service, how could I, a most
unclean keeper of a prostitute, have gotten an opportunity to
chant the holy name of Vaikunthapati when I was just ready to die?
Certainly it could not have been possible.
PURPORT
The name Vaikunthapati, which means “the master of the spiritual
world,” is not different from the name Vaikuntha. Ajamila, who was
now a realized soul, could understand that because of his past spiritual
activities in devotional service, he had gotten this opportunity to chant
the holy name of Vaikunthapati in his horrible condition at the time of
death.
