sarvÄrtha-sambhavo deho
janitaḥ poṣito yataḥ
na tayor yÄti nirveÅ›aá¹
pitror martyaḥ Å›atÄyuá¹£Ä
sarva - of all; artha - goals of life; sambhavaḥ - the source; dehaḥ - one's body; janitaḥ - born; poá¹£itaḥ - maintained; yataḥ - from whom; na - not; tayoḥ - to them; yÄti - one achieves; nirveÅ›am - repayment of the debt; pitroḥ - to the parents; martyaḥ - a mortal; Å›ata - of one hundred (years); Äyuá¹£Ä - with a life span.
With one’s body one can acquire all goals of life, and it is one’s parents who give the body birth and sustenance. Therefore no mortal man can repay his debt to his parents, even if he serves them for a full lifetime of a hundred years.
Having stated, “Both you, Our parents, and We have suffered because of Our separation,†Kṛṣṇa now states that His and BalarÄma’s religious principles have been spoiled by Their failure to satisfy Their parents.
