ÄÅ›Ä hi paramaá¹ duḥkhaá¹
nairÄÅ›yaá¹ paramaá¹ sukham

aÅ›Ä - material desire; hi - certainly; paramam - the greatest; duḥkham - unhappiness; nairÄÅ›yam - freedom from material desires; paramam - the greatest; sukham - happiness; yathÄ - in that way; sañchidya - completely cutting off; kÄnta - for lovers; ÄÅ›Äm - the desire; sukham - happily; suá¹£vÄpa - she slept; piá¹…galÄ - the former prostitute, Piá¹…galÄ.
Material desire is undoubtedly the cause of the greatest unhappiness, and freedom from such desire is the cause of the greatest happiness. Therefore, completely cutting off her desire to enjoy so-called lovers, Piá¹…galÄ very happily went to sleep.
Thus end the purports of the humble servants of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupÄda to the Eleventh Canto, Eighth Chapter, of the ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam, entitled “The Story of Piá¹…galÄ.â€
