TRANSLATION

O my friends, O sons of demons, everyone, including you (the
Yaksas and Raksasas), the unintelligent women, sidras and
cowherd men, the birds, the lower animals and the sinful living
entities, can revive his original, eternal spiritual life and exist
forever simply by accepting the principles of bhakti-yoga.

PURPORT

The devotees are referred to as acyuta-gotra, or the dynasty of the
Supreme Personality of Godhead. The Lord is called Acyuta, as indicated
in Bhagavad-gita (senayor ubhayor madhye ratham sthapaya me
‘cyuta). The Lord is infallible in the material world because He is the
supreme spiritual person. Similarly, the jivas, who are part and parcel of
the Lord, can also become infallible. Although Prahlada’s mother was in
the conditional state and was the wife of a demon, even Yaksas, Raksasas,
women, Siidras and even birds and other lower living entities can be ele-
vated to the acyuta-gotra, the family of the Supreme Personality of God-
head. That is the highest perfection. As Krsna never falls, when we
revive our spiritual consciousness, Krsna consciousness, we never fall
again to material existence. One should understand the position of the
supreme Acyuta, Krsna, who says in Bhagavad-gita (4.9):

janma karma ca me divyam
evar 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.” One should under-
stand Acyuta, the supreme infallible, and how we are related with Him,
