40 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 9, Ch. 2
Being unaffected by material conditions, being pleased with what-
ever was available by the grace of the Lord to maintain body and
soul together, and being equal toward everyone, he gave full atten-
tion to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Vasudeva, who is the
transcendental Supersoul, free from material contamination. Thus
Prsadhra, fully satisfied in pure knowledge, always keeping his
mind on the Supreme Personality of Godhead, achieved pure de-
votional service to the Lord and began traveling all over the world,
without affection for material activities, as if he were deaf, dumb
and blind.

With this attitude, Prsadhra became a great saint, and when he
entered the forest and saw a blazing forest fire, he took this oppor-

dental, spiritual world.
