Translation

So instructed by the Supreme Lord Kṛṣṇa, who assumes the best body by his own will, the hunter circumambulated the Lord three times and bowed down to him. Then the hunter departed in an airplane to the spiritual sky. Icchā-śarīriṇā means “by the Lord who possesses the best body by his desire.”

Reflection Questions

What does it mean to me that the Lord arranges transport even for the offender?
How does this reorder my sense of grace?
