Translation
As Satyavrata remembered the prediction of the Supreme Lord, he saw a boat approach. Collecting herbs and creepers and accompanied by saintly brāhmaṇas, he got aboard the boat.
Personal Guidance
Remembering the Lord's order, Satyavrata saw the boat, collected herbs and creepers, and boarded with the brāhmaṇas. Memory of instruction precedes salvific action. Forgetting the order is the real disaster.
Reflection Questions
- What previous divine instruction am I in danger of forgetting at the very moment it should be applied?
- Where does memory of the order distinguish those who get aboard from those who drown?
