132 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 6, Ch. 2
Visnuditas had gone away for some time to give Ajamila a chance to be-
come firmly fixed in meditation upon the Lord. Now that his devotion
had matured, they returned to take him. Understanding that the same
Visnuditas had returned, Ajamila offered them his obeisances by bowing
down before them.

TRANSLATION
Upon seeing the Visnuditas, Ajamila gave up his material body
at Hardwar on the bank of the Ganges. He regained his original
spiritual body, which was a body appropriate for an associate of the
Lord.
PURPORT
The Lord says in Bhagavad-gita (4.9):
janma karma ca me divyam
evam yo vetti tattvatah
tyaktva deham punar janma
naiti mam eti so ’rjuna
“One who knows the transcendental nature of My appearance and ac-
tivities does not, upon leaving the body, take his birth again in this ma-
terial world, but attains My eternal abode, O Arjuna.”
