Now read this [indistinct].

Siddha-svarūpānanda: etāṁ–this; samāsthāya–taking shelter of; par rā...

Prabhupāda: parātma–means the accepting this sannyāsa order,

[break]... master accepting this order.

Siddha-svarūpānanda: parātma–the Supreme Personality of Godhead; niṣṭhām–means firm conviction.

Prabhupāda: Firm conviction in the Supreme Personality of Godhead as he instructs: sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṅaṁ vraja [Bg 18.66].

[Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reaction. Do not fear.]

So after taking sannyāsa there is no other business than to take shelter of Kṛṣṅa's lotus feet. Go on.

Siddha-svarūpānanda: adhyāsitāṁ–means worship by; pūrva tamair–means by previous ācāryas.

Prabhupāda: So it is not a new thing most of the ācāryas they accepted. Just like in the beginning all the four ācāryas namely Rāmānujācārya, Madhvācārya, Nimbārka, Viṣṅu Svāmī, they accepted sannyāsa and in that line Caitanya Mahāprabhu He accepted sannyāsa. Then further down to my Guru Mahārāja he accepted sannyāsa, I have accepted sannyāsa, so pūrvatamair mahadbhiḥ [SB 11.23.57].

[I shall cross over the insurmountable ocean of nescience by being firmly fixed in the service of the lotus feet of Kṛṣṅa. This was approved by the previous ācāryas, who were fixed in firm devotion to the Lord, Paramātmā, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.]

As previous ācāryas accepted, so I am accepting also. Mahat eh?, parātma-niṣṭhām. Full faith for developing full faith in the Supreme Personality of Godhead [indistinct]. Go on.

Siddha-svarūpānanda: mahadbhiḥ–means great...

Prabhupāda: mahadbhiḥ, mahadbhiḥ means great ācāryas, previous guru's ācāryas, yes?

Siddha-svarūpānanda: ahaṁ–myself; tariṣyāmi–means, shall crossover.

Prabhupāda: That's all, this material existence is very difficult to crossover but by accepting this sannyāsa order, by preaching Kṛṣṅa consciousness I shall also crossover the ocean of nescience.

Siddha-svarūpānanda: durat.

Prabhupāda: duranta.

Siddha-svarūpānanda: duranta-pāraṁ–insurmountable;

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Siddha-svarūpānanda: tamo–the darkness of ignorance; mukundāṅghri–the lotus feet of Mukunda who gives all liberation's.

Prabhupāda: Mukunda, muk means liberation and one who gives liberation as, transcendental bliss he is called Mukunda–Kṛṣṅa. Go on.

Siddha-svarūpānanda: niṣe va yaiva.

Prabhupāda: niṣevayaiva.

Siddha-svarūpānanda: niṣevayaiva.

Prabhupāda: Simply by rendering service unto Him. Go on.
