It is not at all wonderful that simply by being covered by the dust of your lotus feet, one immediately attains the platform of pure devotional service to Adhokṣaja, which is not available even to great demigods like Brahmā. By associating with you just for a moment, I am now freed from all argument, false prestige and lack of discrimination, which are the roots of entanglement in the material world. Now I am free from all these problems.

Association with pure devotees certainly frees one from the material clutches. This is certainly true of King Rahūgaṇa’s association with Jaḍa Bharata. King Rahūgaṇa was immediately freed from the misgivings of material association. The arguments offered by pure devotees to their disciples are so convincing that even a dull-headed disciple is immediately enlightened with spiritual knowledge.

Translation
It is not astonishing that all my sins have been destroyed by the dust of your lotus feet, and that pure bhakti to the Supreme Lord has arisen. By a moment’s association with you, my lack of discrimination, the root of my false arguments, has been destroyed. “You mentioned intimate association. Does that mean that a little association is useless?” No, I spoke like that out of great enthusiasm. Just by obtaining the dust from your lotus feet I have attained pure bhakti, which is rare even for Brahmā or Indra. But this is not astonishing. What is astonishing is that if just by a moment’s association my mind, corrupted by a little knowledge and filled with bad logic, becomes favorable to bhakti, how can one describe the greatness of prolonged association with devotees? My statement shows my enthusiasm.
