Verse 188 of 280
Cc Madhya 16.188

সেই কহে,—ঽমোরে যদি কৈলা অংগীকার এক আজ্ঞা দেহ,—সেবা করি যে তোমার

सेइ कहे,—ऽमोरे यदि कैला अंगीकार एक आज्ञा देह,—सेवा करि ये तोमार

sei kahe,—'more yadi kailā aṅgīkāra eka ājñā deha,—sevā kari ye tomāra

Synonyms

sei kahethe Mohammedan governor said; moreme; yadiif; kailā aṅgīkāraYou have accepted; eka ājñāone order; dehagive; sevāservice; kariI may render; yeso that; tomāraYour..

Translation

The Mohammedan governor then said, "Since You have so kindly accepted me, please give me some order so that I can render You some service."

Purport

If one is purified by following Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu's orders—that is, by chanting the holy name of Kṛṣṇa—one must certainly be eager to render service to the Lord. This is the test. When one engages enthusiastically in the Lord's service, it is to be understood that he is reaping the results of chanting the names of Kṛṣṇa and Hari.
