Text 25] The Sons of Sagara Meet Lord Kapiladeva 257

“By serving You constantly, one is freed from all material desires and is
completely pacified. When shall I engage as Your permanent eternal ser-
vant and always feel joyful to have such a fitting master?”

Manorathenasati dhavato bahih: one who acts on the mental platform
must descend to material activities. Material contamination, however, is
completely absent from the Supreme Personality of Godhead and His
pure devotee. Therefore the Lord is addressed as prasanta, completely
peaceful, free from the disturbances of material existence. The Supreme
Lord has no material name or form; only the foolish think that the Lord’s
name and form are material (avajananti marh midha ménusirn tanum
dsritam). The identity of the Supreme Lord is that He is the original per-
son. Nonetheless, those who have but a poor fund of knowledge think
that the Lord is formless. The Lord is formless in the material sense, but
He has His transcendental form (sac-cid-dnanda-vigraha).

O my Lord, those whose hearts are bewildered by the influence

wife and children, they wander in this material world perpetually.
