Text 45] The Dynasty of Arnsuman 39
is always attached to wife, children, home, property and many other
things for sense gratification, but, as stated above, Khatvanga Maharaja
was not attached to such things, nor could he think of anything existing
without the purpose of the Supreme Lord. [savésyam idam sarvam:
everything is related to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Of course,
this consciousness is not for the ordinary person, but if one takes to the
path of devotional service, as prescribed in The Nectar of Devotion, he
can be trained in this consciousness and attain perfect understanding.
For a Krsna conscious person, nothing is palatable without a relationship
with Krsna.

devaih—by the demigods; kdma-varah—the benediction to have
whatever he wanted; dattah—was given; mahyam—unto me; tri-
bhuvana-isvaraih—by the demigods, the protectors of the three worlds
(who can do whatever they like within this material world); na vme—
did not accept; tam—that; aham—I; kdmam—everything desirable
within this material world; bhitabhavana-bhdvanah—being fully ab-
sorbed in the Supreme Personality of Godhead (and therefore not in-
terested in anything material).

TRANSLATION

The demigods, the directors of the three worlds, wanted to give
me whatever benediction I desired. I did not want their benedic-
tions, however, because I am interested in the Supreme Per-
sonality of Godhead, who created everything in this material
world. I am more interested in the Supreme Personality of God-
head than in all material benedictions.
