Sakrt. Sakrt means very a little, svalpam, very little. Sakrt manah. If one accepts this process of devotional service as very good, not that he has got full knowledge but simply accepts it, simply accepts it... That is stated in the Bhagavad-gita, svalpam apy asya dharmasya trayate mahato bhayat. (Indian man translates) (Prabhupada speaks in Hindi) We have no other business, simply Krsna consciousness. Therefore anyone who joins with us even for a moment, even for a few minutes, still, it is so powerful that it can help you to save you from the greatest danger.

Now he again says that "Those who are attracted to devotional service of Krsna even to a very little extent, for them," na te yamam pasa-bhrtas ca tad-bhatan svapne 'pi pasyanti hi cirna-niskrtah, "they do not even dream the Yamaraja or his constables." Because at the time of death those who are very sinful, they are taken away to Yamaraja's place... That's a fact. Not only that, he even in dream does not see them because that little service to Krsna has made him freed from all sinful contamination. (Hindi) The very word is used, cirna-niskrtah.

Now Sukadeva Gosvami is giving an example from the history. Now it is explicitly stated here, itihasam puranam. All the Puranas that we have got, they are not legends; they are all history. They are all histories. Just like there is no chronological history one after another, but any incident which has taken actually place, they are reciting. They are not fiction or imaginary stories, all the Puranas. Itihasa, yes. So Sukadeva Gosvami is giving an instance from the history which is very instructive. Atra codaharantimam itihasam puratanam. Purana means old history, actually Purana. Purana means old. So puratanam itihasam. Now he gives that,

He says, "In the city of Kanyakubja..." Kanyakubja is still existing. That is also historical place. That place is now known as Kanauj. Yes. (some discussion in Hindi) "In the city of Kanyakubja, formerly there was a brahmana." Kanyakubje dvijah kascit. "There was a brahmana." Asid dasi-patir ajamilah. Dasi-pati means one who keeps woman; it is not married. He kept one woman, dasi; therefore he was the husband of a dasi. He was living with a woman who was not married wife. So a brahmana of the name Ajamila who was husband of a kept woman, kanyakubje dvijah kascid dasi-patir ajamilah, namna nasta-sadacarah. But he lost all good qualification of a brahmana. That is the result of illegitimate connection with woman.

Now his profession was... When a man falls down, then he lives by this profession. What are these? Bandy-aksaih: gambling, cheating, and stealing. All these abominable activities they adopt. And he does not think that "I am doing something bad because I have no other means to maintain my family." He gives the reason that "What can I do? I have to maintain my family, so somehow or other I must get money." So there is a practical example in Patna high-court. I do not wish to name, but there was a big high-court judge. He was taking bribe, and he was detected one day. When he was just to deliver one judgment, the chief judge called him and he asked him that "You immediately resign on health condition and go away." But when his friends asked him that "Why you were doing so?" he replied that "I have got expenditure, ten thousand rupees per month, and I get only four thousand. What can I do?" So the... (the door opens) (aside:) Come on. Just see practically. Even a high-court judge, because he has to spend more than his income, he adopted these vile means of living. The trend of modern civilization is like that. They unnecessarily increase their expenditure and adopt these all vile means. (Hindi) So your party is ready? (Hindi) So you can go with him. Yes. (Hindi) (end)
