138 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 7, Ch. 13

prahlado janako bhismo
balir vaiyasakir vayam

(Bhag. 6.3.20)

The conclusion is that a paramaharisa is an exalted devotee (bhagavat-
priya). Such a paramaharisa may be in any stage of life—brahmacari,
grhastha, vdnaprastha or sannyaésa—and be equally liberated and ex-
alted.

Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Seventh Canto, Thirteenth
Chapter, of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, entitled ‘‘The Behavior of a Perfect

Person.””
