dvijātmaja tvac-caraṇāvanejanaiḥ
hatāṁhaso vārbhir iyaṁ ca bhūr aho
tathā punītā tanubhiḥ padais tava
O son of a brāhmaṇa! Today the fire of sacrifice has been worshipped according to the rules, and I have been freed from all the sinful reactions of my life by your foot water. By the marks of your small lotus feet the entire surface of the world has been sanctified.
I have been purified by the water from your feet. The earth has been purified by the auspicious marks (padaiḥ) on your small feet.[137]
|| 8.18.32 ||
yad yad vaṭo vāñchasi tat pratīccha me
tvām arthinaṁ vipra-sutānutarkaye
gāṁ kāñcanaṁ guṇavad dhāma mṛṣṭaṁ
tathānna-peyam uta vā vipra-kanyām
grāmān samṛddhāṁs turagān gajān vā
rathāṁs tathārhattama sampratīccha
O son of a brāhmaṇa! O brahmacārī! It appears that you have come here to ask me for something. Take from me whatever you want. O best of those who are worshipable! Take from me a cow, gold, a furnished house, palatable food and drink, the daughter of a brāhmaṇa for your wife, prosperous villages, horses, elephants, or chariots.
Thus ends the commentary on the Eighteenth Chapter of the Eighth Canto of the Bhāgavatam for the pleasure of the devotees, in accordance with the previous ācāryas.
