'বান্ধে সবারে' - তাতে অবিদ্যা 'বন্ধু' হয় ।
'অবিদ্যা-নাশক' - 'বন্ধুহন্'-শব্দে কয় ॥ ১৪৫ ॥
'bandhe sabare'-tate avidya 'bandhu' haya
'avidya-nasaka'-'bandhu-han'-sabde kaya
bandhe-binds; sabare-everyone; tate-therefore; avidya-nescience, or maya; bandhu-binder or relative; haya-is; avidya-nasaka-vanquisher of maya; bandhu-han-sabde-by the word "bandhu-han"; kaya-mother Sarasvati says.
"Nescience, or maya, may be called 'bandhu' because she entangles everyone in the material world. Therefore by using the word 'bandhu-han,' mother Sarasvati says that Lord Krsna is the vanquisher of maya.
Everyone is entangled in the illusory energy, but as stated in Bhagavad-gita, mam eva ye prapadyante mayam etam taranti te: as soon as one surrenders to Krsna, he is freed from maya. Therefore Krsna may be called bandhu-han, the killer of maya.
