अनायासेन मरणं विना दैन्येन जीवनम् ।
अनाराधितगोविन्दचरणस्य कथं भवेत् ॥
anāyāsena maraṇaṁ vinā dainyena jīvanam |
anārādhita-govinda-caraṇasya kathaṁ bhavet ||
(Caitanya-bhāgavata: 1.7.136, 2.1.237)
“How can one by whom Govinda’s feet are not worshiped have a death without distress and a life without destitution?”
Commentary
Jagannātha Miśra speaks this verse to Śacī Mātā and explains it as follows:
anāyāse maraṇa, jīvana dainya vine |
kṛṣṇa sevile se haya, nahe vidyā-dhane ||
“A death without distress and a life without destitution are had if one serves Kṛṣṇa, and not by knowledge or wealth.”
Śrīman Mahāprabhu also on occasion speaks this verse to Śacī Mātā and explains:
anāyāse maraṇa, jīvana duḥkha vine |
kṛṣṇa bhajile se haya kṛṣṇera smaraṇe ||
“A death without distress and a life without destitution are had if one serves Kṛṣṇa by remembrance of Kṛṣṇa.”
