এ-বন্যায় যে না ভাসে, সেই জীব ছার ।
কোটিকল্পে কভু তার নাহিক নিস্তার ॥ ২৫৫ ॥
e-vanyaya ye na bhase, sei jiva chara
koti-kalpe kabhu tara nahika nistara
e-vanyaya-in this inundation; ye-anyone who; na bhase-does not float; sei-that; jiva-living entity; chara-most condemned; koti-kalpe-in millions of kalpas; kabhu-at any time; tara-his; nahika-there is not; nistara-deliverance.
"Anyone who does not float in this inundation is most condemned. Such a person cannot be delivered for millions of kalpas.
The kalpa is explained in Bhagavad-gita. Sahasra-yuga-paryantam ahar yad brahmano viduh. One day of Brahma is called a kalpa. A yuga, or maha-yuga, consists of 4,320,000 years, and one thousand such maha-yugas constitute one kalpa. The author of Sri Caitanya-caritamrta says that if one does not take advantage of the Krsna consciousness movement of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, he cannot be delivered for millions of such kalpas.
