नार्वाचीनो विसर्गस्य धातर्वेदितुमर्हति ॥३२॥
yat te gatÄ«nÄá¹ tisṛṇÄm
īśituḥ paramaṠpadam
nÄrvÄcÄ«no visargasya
dhÄtar veditum arhati
yat - which; te - of You; gatÄ«nÄm tisṛṇÄm - of the three destinations (the heavenly planets, the earthly planets and hell); Ä«Å›ituḥ - who are the controller; paramam padam - the supreme abode, Vaikuṇá¹haloka; na - not; arvÄcÄ«naḥ - a person appearing after; visargasya - the creation; dhÄtaḥ - O supreme controller; veditum - to understand; arhati - is able.
O supreme controller, You control the three destinations [promotion to the heavenly planets, birth as a human being, and condemnation in hell], yet Your supreme abode is Vaikuṇá¹ha-dhÄma. Since we appeared after You created this cosmic manifestation, Your activities are impossible for us to understand. We therefore have nothing to offer You but our humble obeisances.
An inexperienced man generally does not know what to beg from the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Everyone is under the jurisdiction of the created material world, and no one knows what benediction to ask when praying to the Supreme Lord. People generally pray to be promoted to the heavenly planets because they have no information of Vaikuṇá¹haloka. ÅšrÄ«la MadhvÄcÄrya quotes the following verse:
deva-lokÄt pitá¹›-lokÄt
nirayÄc cÄpi yat param
tisá¹›bhyaḥ paramaá¹ sthÄnaá¹
vaiṣṇavaá¹ viduá¹£Äá¹ gatiḥ
There are different planetary systems, known as Devaloka (the planets of the demigods), Pitá¹›loka (the planet of the PitÄs) and Niraya (the hellish planets). When one transcends these various planetary systems and enters Vaikuṇá¹haloka, he achieves the ultimate resort of the Vaiṣṇavas. Vaiṣṇavas have nothing to do with the other planetary systems.
