168 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 6, Ch. 17

within the valleys of Sumeru Mountain, which is the place of per-
fection for various kinds of mystic power. In those valleys he en-
joyed life with the women of Vidyadhara-loka by chanting the
glories of the Supreme Lord, Hari.

PURPORT

It is to be understood that Maharaja Citraketu, although surrounded
by beautiful women from Vidyadhara-loka, did not forget to glorify the
Lord by chanting the holy name of the Lord. It has been proved in many
places that one who is not contaminated by any material condition, who is
a pure devotee engaged in chanting the glories of the Lord, should be
understood to be perfect.
