अहो दानव सिद्धोऽसि यस्य ते मतिरीदृशी ।
भक्तः सर्वात्मनात्मानं सुहृदं जगदीश्वरम् ॥१९॥
indra uvÄca
aho dÄnava siddho 'si
yasya te matir īdṛśī
bhaktaḥ sarvÄtmanÄtmÄnaá¹
suhṛdaṠjagad-īśvaram
indraḥ uvÄca - Indra said; aho - hello; dÄnava - O demon; siddhaḥ asi - you are now perfect; yasya - whose; te - your; matiḥ - consciousness; Ä«dṛśī - such as this; bhaktaḥ - a great devotee; sarva-ÄtmanÄ - without diversion; ÄtmÄnam - to the Supersoul; suhá¹›dam - the greatest friend; jagat-Ä«Å›varam - to the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Indra said: O great demon, I see by your discrimination and endurance in devotional service, despite your dangerous position, that you are a perfect devotee of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the Supersoul and friend of everyone.
As stated in Bhagavad-gÄ«tÄ (6.22):
yaá¹ labdhvÄ cÄparaá¹ lÄbhaá¹
manyate nÄdhikaá¹ tataḥ
yasmin sthito na duḥkhena
guruṇÄpi vicÄlyate
“Established in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, one never departs from the truth, and upon gaining this he thinks there is no greater gain. Being situated in such a position, one is never shaken, even in the midst of the greatest difficulty.†An unalloyed devotee is never disturbed by any kind of trying circumstance. Indra was surprised to see that Vá¹›trÄsura, undisturbed, was fixed in devotional service to the Lord, for such a mentality is impossible for a demon. However, by the grace of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, anyone can become an exalted devotee (striyo vaiÅ›yÄs tathÄ Å›Å«drÄs te ’pi yÄnti parÄá¹ gatim). An unalloyed devotee is sure to return home, back to Godhead.
