yaḥ — whoever; idam — this; anuśṛṇoti — hears; yaḥ — whoever; abhidhatte — expounds; kapila-muneḥ — of the sage Kapila; matam — instructions; ātma-yoga — based on meditation on the Lord; guhyam — confidential; bhagavati — on the Supreme Personality of Godhead; kṛta-dhīḥ — having fixed his mind; suparṇa-ketau — who has a banner of Garuḍa; upalabhate — achieves; bhagavat — of the Supreme Lord; pada-aravindam — the lotus feet.

TRANSLATION

The description of the dealings of Kapiladeva and His mother is very confidential, and anyone who hears or reads this narration becomes a devotee of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is carried by Garuḍa, and he thereafter enters into the abode of the Supreme Lord to engage in the transcendental loving service of the Lord.

PURPORT

The narration of Kapiladeva and His mother, Devahūti, is so perfect and transcendental that even if one only hears or reads this description, he achieves the highest perfectional goal of life, for he engages in the loving service of the lotus feet of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. There is no doubt that Devahūti, who had the Supreme Lord as her son and who followed the instructions of Kapiladeva so nicely, attained the highest perfection of human life.

Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Third Canto, Thirty-third Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled "Activities of Kapila."

END OF THE THIRD CANTO
