Translation
O Uddhava, hearing the words of the avadhūta, the saintly King Yadu, who is the forefather of our own ancestors, became free from all material attachment, and thus his mind was evenly fixed on the spiritual platform.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
O Uddhava! Hearing the words of the avadhūta, the saintly King Yadu, who is the forefather of our own ancestors, became free from all material attachment and began to see everything equally.
Thus ends the commentary on Ninth Chapter of the Eleventh Canto of the Bhāgavatam for the pleasure of the devotees, in accordance with the previous ācāryas.
Chapter Ten
The Futility of Karma Rituals
Purport
Here the Lord praises His own dynasty, called Yadu-vaṁśa, because there appeared in that dynasty many great self-realized kings. King Yadu was enlightened by Dattātreya in the form of an
avadhūta brāhmaṇa
who taught the King to fix his consciousness on the spiritual platform of detachment by simply observing the creation of God.
Thus end the purports by the humble servants of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda to the Eleventh Canto, Ninth Chapter, of the
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam,
entitled “Detachment from All that Is Material.”
