to the position of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
We are representatives of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the creator of the whole universe, who carries in His hand the bow named Śārṅga. We have been specifically deputed to take you to the spiritual world.
Purport
In Bhagavad-gītā the Lord says that simply by knowing His transcendental pastimes (whether within this material world or in the spiritual world), anyone who understands factually who He is, how He appears and how He acts can be immediately fit for transfer to the spiritual world. This principle stated in the Bhagavad-gītā operated in the case of King Dhruva. Throughout his life he tried to understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead by austerity and penances. Now, the mature result was that Dhruva Mahārāja became fit to be carried to the spiritual world, accompanied by the confidential associates of the Lord.

Translation
We, associates of the Supreme Lord, creator of all the universes and holder of the Śārṅga bow, have come to take you to the abode of the Lord.

Personal Guidance
Nanda and Sunanda say: we are representatives of the Lord, here to take you to the spiritual world. The right messengers come for the ripe soul; the question is whether you're ready when they arrive.
Reflection Questions
- Whose 'we've come to take you' invitation am I declining because I'm not yet prepared?
- What needs to be in place so I'd say yes when the messengers actually arrive?
