“My dear Lord, You are the Supreme Brahman, the Personality of Godhead. One who engages himself in Your devotional service by the prescribed methods of hearing, chanting and remembering certainly becomes purified from the contamination of the modes of material nature, and what to speak of those who have the opportunity to see You and touch You directly.
Purport
Śrīla Śrīdhara Svāmī interprets the word
brahma-mayasya
to mean
brahma-ghana-mūrteḥ,
“of the concentrated form of the Absolute Truth.”
Purport (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
"But what is the purpose in their seeing me?" this verse answers.
"Even the outcastes become purified by hearing, chanting and meditating on you, who are the form of concentrated Brahman (brahma mayasya)."
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
Those who are outcastes are purified of the fault of their birth by hearing, chanting and meditating. What to speak of those who see and touch you? Or, what to speak of those who experience you by seeing you?
Purport (Sanatana Goswami)
Even outcastes are purified of faulty birth by thinking of all your limbs (dhyānāt). This is because of your influence. O Lord (īśa)! What to speak of those who see or touch you, or touch you through seeing.
