‘শেষ’ ব-ই সংসারের গতি নাহি আর অনন্তের নামে সর্ব-জীবের উদ্ধার ॥ ৬৪ ॥
‘शेष’ ब-इ संसारेर गति नाहि आर अनन्तेर नामे सर्व-जीवेर उद्धार ॥ ६४ ॥
‘śeṣa’ ba-i saṃsārera gati nāhi āra anantera nāme sarva-jīvera uddhāra || 64 ||
‘sesa’ ba-i samsarera gati nahi ara anantera name sarva-jivera uddhara (64)
English translation:
(64) Lord Anantadeva is known as Śeṣa [the unlimited end] because He alone ends our passage through this material world. By chanting His glories, everyone can be liberated.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
One may refer to the purport to verse 46 for the meaning of the word Śeṣa. The word ba-i means “without” or “beyond.” The word gati refers to the means of ending material life. For the meaning of the words sarva- jīvera uddhāra, one may refer to the Fifth Canto of the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, Chapter 26, the first half of verse 8, quoted in the purports of verses 14, 18, and 21, as well as the translation of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (6.16.44).
