পুত্র-বুদ্ধি ছাডি’ অজামিল সে স্মরণে চলিলা বৈকুণ্ঠ, ভজ সে কৃষ্ণ-চরণে ॥ ৩৩৯ ॥
पुत्र-बुद्धि छाडि’ अजामिल से स्मरणे चलिला वैकुण्ठ, भज से कृष्ण-चरणे ॥ ३३९ ॥
putra-buddhi chāḍi’ ajāmila se smaraṇe calilā vaikuṇṭha, bhaja se kṛṣṇa-caraṇe || 339 ||
putra-buddhi chadi’ ajamila se smarane calila vaikuntha, bhaja se krsna-carane (339)
English translation:
(339) “By remembering that the holy name was not really that of his son, Ajāmila attained Vaikuṇṭha. Therefore worship the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
Although the most sinful Ajāmila first uttered the name Nārāyaṇa referring to his son, as soon as he gave up thoughts of his son as the object of enjoyment and simultaneously remembered that the sound vibration of Nārāyaṇa is nondifferent from Nārāyaṇa Himself, he immediately attained liberation by the influence of nāmābhāsa resulting
from remembering Kṛṣṇa. He was then able to enter the kingdom of Vaikuṇṭha, which is transcendental, beyond the reach of the senses, and beyond the jurisdiction of māyā.
For a description of Ajāmila’s life one should see Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, Canto Six, Chapter One, verses 21-68, as well as Chapters Two and Three.
