pApakaRmava = evil actions committed by His devotees either due to ignorance or due to their asuravEsha

sahisuvade = tolerates & pardons them (devotees) without counting those actions as wicked actions

laxmIpatige = to Lord nArAyaNa

samarAda = equal in all aspects

divijaranu = dEvata-s

I = in this real world

payOja = in the lotus bloomed out of the navel of shrI PadmanAbha dEvaru

bhava = chaturamukha Brahma

aMDadoLage = in this world

Avalli = no where

nA kANe = I haven’t seen (meaning- there is none other)

gOpa =   1) iMdra, 2) chaMdra - because thru his rays of light (gO) he protects life (pa)

guruvina maDadi = tArAdEvi – wife of BrahaspatyAchArya

bhR^igu = bhR^igu

naga chApa = mahaR^idra dEva who held the abhimAni dEvata of mEru mountain as his bow while he killed the demon tripurAsura (naga = mountain, chApa = bow)

modalAdavaru = primarily such people and others

mADida = done by them

mahAparAdhagaLa = mega offences

karuNAsamudra hari = ParamAtma – who has shows immense kindness to his

devotees

eNisidane = did He count (those offences)?  Meaning- He did not count

them at all

 

ParamAmatma is a sea of kindness. Through this one guNa, He pardons the

offences of His devotees - committed either due to ignorance,

asurAvEsha, curse or deliberate wrong act by making them feel repentant

and realize that all such offences were committed as per the saMkalpa of

shrI Hari and fervently pray to Him. Then the kind Lord pardons those

sins without reckoning them as offences. Such tolerant guNa is not seen

in anyone else. There is no other than Him alone with such a quality.

 

dEvata-s have a servant-Lord relationship with ParamAtma and they pray

fervently to Him, and hence their offences are pardoned whereas the

daitya-s treat ParamAtma as their enemy and therefore their offences are

not pardoned.

 

JagannAtha dAsa quotes the following examples:-

 

1) svargalOka is ruled by iMdra and he is called gOpa. A few of the

offences committed by him are:-

 

a) He usurped the wife of Goutama R^iShi

b) He fought against kR^iShNa at the time of His taking the PArijAta

flower plant

c) He brought torrential rains on Gokula and troubled the people and

cattle of that village

d) During khAMDava forest fire, he brought quarreled against

kR^iShNa-Arjuna

 

2) chaMdra is also called gOpa. He had jovial connections with tArAdEvi,

the wife of his guru – BrahaspatyAchArya

 

3) “guruvina maDadi” i.e. tArAdEvi went away chaMdra – that was indeed a

misdeed.

 

4) “nagachApa”  - A terrible demon called tripurasura was killed by

R^idra . At that time he used the Earth as his chariot, Brahma as his

charioteer, mEru mountain (naga) as his bow (chApa) and ParamAtma as his

arrow and thus R^idra killed tripurasura. R^idra is thus called

nagachApa. A few of the offences committed by him are:-

 

a) R^idra fought against kR^iShNa in support of his bhakta bANasura

b) R^idra invited Lord rAma to fight against him after rAma killed his

bhakta rAvaNa

c) He chased mOhini – the female rUpa of paramAtma

 

5) The very intelligent BhR^igu R^iShi, in the process of deciding as to

who is the Supreme being, kicked ParamAtma on His chest, while ParamAtma

was relaxing in VaikuMTha.

 

JagannAtha dAsa states these examples to show that ParamAtma is

sympathetic, tolerant and pardons our offences.
