Cc Antya 7.19

যাঙ্হার কৃপাতে ম্লেচ্ছের হয কৃষ্ণভক্তি কে কহিতে পারে তাঙ্র বৈষ্ণবতাশক্তি?

याङ्हार कृपाते म्लेच्छेर हय कृष्णभक्ति के कहिते पारे ताङ्र वैष्णवताशक्ति?

yāṅhāra kṛpāte mlecchera haya kṛṣṇa-bhakti ke kahite pāre tāṅra vaiṣṇavatā-śakti?

Synonyms

yāṅhāra—whose; kṛpāte—by mercy; mlecchera—of mlecchas; haya—is; kṛṣṇa-bhakti—devotional service to Kṛṣṇa; ke—who; kahite pāre—can describe; tāṅra—His; vaiṣṇavatā-śakti—power of Vaiṣṇavism..

Translation

"He is such a great personality that by His mercy He can convert even the meateaters [mlecchas] to the devotional service of Kṛṣṇa. Who, therefore, can estimate the power of His Vaiṣṇavism?

Purport

It is extremely difficult to convert a mleccha, or meateater, into a devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa. Therefore anyone who can do so is situated on the highest level of Vaiṣṇavism.
