Srimad Bhagavatam class by HH Mahavishnu Swami Maharaj on 9th September 2021
Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 3, Chapter 19 - The Killing of the Demon Hiraṇyākṣa
ŚB 3.19.35
यो गजेन्द्र झषग्रस्तं ध्यायन्तं
चरणाम्बुजम् । क्रोशन्तीनां करेणूनां कृच्छ्रतोऽमोचयद् द्रुतम् ॥ ३५ ॥
yo gajendraṁ jhaṣa-grastaṁ
dhyāyantaṁ caraṇāmbujam
krośantīnāṁ kareṇūnāṁ
kṛcchrato ’mocayad drutam
Synonyms
yaḥ - He who; gaja-indram - the king of elephants; jhaṣa - an alligator; grastam - attacked by; dhyāyantam - meditating upon; caraṇa - feet; ambujam - lotus; krośantīnām - while crying; kareṇūnām - the female elephants; kṛcchrataḥ - from danger; amocayat - delivered; drutam - quickly.
Translation
The Personality of Godhead delivered the king of the elephants, who was attacked by an alligator and who meditated upon the lotus feet of the Lord. At that time the female elephants who accompanied him were crying, and the Lord saved them from the impending danger.
Purport
The example of the elephant in danger who was saved by the Supreme Lord is especially cited here because even if one is an animal he can approach the Personality of Godhead in devotional service, whereas even a demigod cannot approach the Supreme Person unless he is a devotee.
ŚB 3.19.36
तं सुखाराध्यमृजुभिरनन्यशरणैर्नृभि: ।
कृतज्ञ: को न सेवेत दुराराध्यमसाधुभि: ॥ ३६ ॥
taṁ sukhārādhyam ṛjubhir
ananya-śaraṇair nṛbhiḥ
kṛtajñaḥ ko na seveta
durārādhyam asādhubhiḥ
Synonyms
tam - unto Him; sukha - easily; ārādhyam - worshiped; ṛjubhiḥ - by the unpretentious; ananya - no other; śaraṇaiḥ - who take shelter; nṛbhiḥ - by men; kṛta-jñaḥ - grateful soul; kaḥ - what; na - not; seveta - would render service; durārādhyam - impossible to be worshiped; asādhubhiḥ - by the nondevotees.
Translation
What grateful soul is there who would not render his loving service to such a great master as the Personality of Godhead? The Lord can be easily pleased by spotless devotees who resort exclusively to Him for protection, though the unrighteous man finds it difficult to propitiate Him.
Purport
Every living entity, especially persons in the human race, must feel grateful for the benedictions offered by the grace of the Supreme Lord. Therefore anyone with a simple heart of gratefulness must be Kṛṣṇa conscious and offer devotional service to the Lord. Those who are actually thieves and rogues do not recognize or acknowledge the benedictions offered to them by the Supreme Lord, and they cannot render Him devotional service. Ungrateful persons are those who do not understand how much benefit they are deriving by the arrangement of the Lord. They enjoy the sunshine and moonshine, and they get water free of charge, yet they do not feel grateful, but simply go on enjoying these gifts of the Lord. Therefore, they must be called thieves and rogues.
