ववन्दे शिरसा विष्णोः किङ्करान् दर्शनोत्सवः ॥२२॥
dvijaḥ pÄÅ›Äd vinirmukto
gata-bhīḥ prakṛtiṠgataḥ
vavande Å›irasÄ viṣṇoḥ
kiá¹…karÄn darÅ›anotsavaḥ
dvijaḥ - the brÄhmaṇa (AjÄmila); pÄÅ›Ät - from the noose; vinirmuktaḥ - being released; gata-bhīḥ - freed from fear; praká¹›tim gataḥ - came to his senses; vavande - offered his respectful obeisances; Å›irasÄ - by bowing his head; viṣṇoḥ - of Lord Viṣṇu; kiá¹…karÄn - unto the servants; darÅ›ana-utsavaḥ - very pleased by seeing them.
Having been released from the nooses of YamarÄja’s servants, the brÄhmaṇa AjÄmila, now free from fear, came to his senses and immediately offered obeisances to the ViṣṇudÅ«tas by bowing his head at their lotus feet. He was extremely pleased by their presence, for he had seen them save his life from the hands of the servants of YamarÄja.
Vaiṣṇavas are also ViṣṇudÅ«tas because they carry out the orders of Kṛṣṇa. Lord Kṛṣṇa is very eager for all the conditioned souls rotting in this material world to surrender to Him and be saved from material pangs in this life and punishment in hellish conditions after death. A Vaiṣṇava therefore tries to bring conditioned souls to their senses. Those who are fortunate like AjÄmila are saved by the ViṣṇudÅ«tas, or Vaiṣṇavas, and thus they return back home, back to Godhead.
