hitvÄ - giving up; kalevaram - the material body; tÄ«rthe - in the holy place; gaá¹…gÄyÄm - on the bank of the Ganges; darÅ›anÄt anu - after seeing; sadyaḥ - immediately; sva-rÅ«pam - his original spiritual form; jagá¹›he - he assumed; bhagavat-pÄrÅ›va-vartinÄm - which is fit for an associate of the Lord.
Upon seeing the ViṣṇudÅ«tas, AjÄmila gave up his material body at Hardwar on the bank of the Ganges. He regained his original spiritual body, which was a body appropriate for an associate of the Lord.
The Lord says in Bhagavad-gÄ«tÄ (4.9):
janma karma ca me divyam
evaṠyo vetti tattvataḥ
tyaktvÄ dehaá¹ punar janma
naiti mÄm eti so ’rjuna
“One who knows the transcendental nature of My appearance and activities does not, upon leaving the body, take his birth again in this material world, but attains My eternal abode, O Arjuna.â€
The result of perfection in Kṛṣṇa consciousness is that after giving up one’s material body, one is immediately transferred to the spiritual world in one’s original spiritual body to become an associate of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Some devotees go to Vaikuṇá¹haloka, and others go to Goloka Vá¹›ndÄvana to become associates of Kṛṣṇa.
