yasya - of whom; akhila - all; amÄ«va - sins; habhiḥ - which destroy; su-maá¹…galaiḥ - most auspicious; vÄcaḥ - words; vimiÅ›rÄḥ - joined; guṇa - with the qualities; karma - activities; janmabhiḥ - and incarnations; prÄṇanti - they give life; Å›umbhanti - make beautiful; punanti - and purify; vai - indeed; jagat - the entire universe; yÄḥ - which (words); tat - of these; viraktÄḥ - devoid; Å›ava - of a corpse; Å›obhanÄḥ - (like) the decorating; matÄḥ - considered.
All sins are destroyed and all good fortune is created by the Supreme Lord’s qualities, activities and appearances, and words that describe these three things animate, beautify and purify the world. On the other hand, words bereft of His glories are like the decorations on a corpse.
ÅšrÄ«la ÅšrÄ«dhara SvÄmÄ« brings up the following possible objection: How can one who is devoid of ordinary ego, who is fully self-satisfied, engage in pastimes? The answer is given here. Lord Kṛṣṇa acts on the pure, spiritual platform for the pleasure of His loving devotees, not for any kind of mundane gratification.
