TRANSLATION

My dear son, killing a king who is an emperor is more severely
sinful than killing a brahmana. But now, if you become Krsna con-
scious and worship the holy places, you can atone for this great
sin.

PURPORT

One who fully surrenders to the Supreme Personality of Godhead is
freed from all sins (ahar tvarh sarva-paépebhyo moksayisyami). From
the very day or moment he fully surrenders to Sri Krsna, even the most
sinful person is freed. Nonetheless, as an example, Jamadagni advised
his son Parasurama to worship the holy places. Because an ordinary per-
son cannot immediately surrender to the Supreme Personality of God-
head, he is advised to go from one holy place to another to find saintly
persons and thus gradually be released from sinful reactions.

Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Ninth Canto, Fifteenth
Chapter, of the Srimad- -Bhagavatam, entitled ‘‘Parasurama, the Lord’s
Warrior Incarnation.”
