124 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 6, Ch. 2

kva ca nardyanety etad
bhagavan-néma margalam

kva—where; ca—also; aham—I; kitavah—a cheater; padpah—all
sins personified; brahma-ghnah—the killer of my brahminical culture;
nirapatrapah—shameless; kva—where; ca—also; ndérdyana—
Narayana; iti—thus; etat—this; bhagavat-nama—the holy name of the
Supreme Personality of Godhead; marigalam—all-auspicious.

TRANSLATION

Ajamila continued: I am a shameless cheater who has killed his
brahminical culture. Indeed, I am sin personified. Where am I in
comparison to the all-auspicious chanting of the holy name of
Lord Narayana?

PURPORT

Those engaged in broadcasting the holy name of Narayana, Krsna,
through the Krsna consciousness movement should always consider what
our position was before we came and what it is now. We had fallen into
abominable lives as meat-eaters, drunkards and woman hunters who
performed all kinds of sinful activities, but now we have been given the
opportunity to chant the Hare Krsna mantra. Therefore we should al-
ways appreciate this opportunity. By the grace of the Lord we are open-
ing many branches, and we should use this good fortune to chant the
holy name of the Lord and serve the Supreme Personality of Godhead
directly. We must be conscious of the difference between our present and
past conditions and should always be very careful not to fall from the
most exalted life.
