Translation
Who but the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who lies beyond material perception and is the Lord of self-satisfied sages, can possibly save my consciousness, which has been stolen by a prostitute?
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Who but the Supreme Lord, who produces sense knowledge and who is the master of self-satisfied sages, can possibly save my consciousness, which has been stolen by a prostitute?
“How will I be freed from the taste of her lips and develop distaste?” No one, even an ātmārāma, can free the mind of a person delighting in the body. But the master of the ātmārāmas, the Supreme Lord, can do this, because he has the greatest powers (bhagavān) to free me. From the Lord alone comes sense knowledge (akṣaja) which is condemned (adhaḥ).
