Translation
The Supreme Lord said: O Jarā, do not fear. Please get up. What has been done is actually my desire. With my permission, go now to the abode of the devotees, the place for those who perform good acts.
This is my desire. I had to accept the curse of the brāhmaṇa. It was my desire. Go to the spiritual (svargam) place of those with the best actions, my devotees. Go to Vaikuṇṭha. Sukṛtinām means “of those possessing good act,” to praise the hunter.

Personal Guidance
Do not fear, get up. What has been done is My own desire. With My permission, go to the abode of the pious. The Lord reframes the hunter's offense as His will.
Reflection Questions
- What 'offense' of mine might actually be the Lord's will?
- How does this thought require humility rather than license?
