etat -- these; suhridbhih -- along with the cowherd friends; caritam -- pastimes; murareh -- of Lord Murari; agha-ardanam -- the subduing of the demon Aghasura; sadvala -- on the grass in the forest; jemanam -- the taking of lunch; ca -- and; vyakta-itarat -- supramundane; rupam -- the transcendental form of the Lord; aja -- by Lord Brahma; uru -- elaborate; abhishtavam -- the offering of prayers; srinvan -- hearing; grinan -- chanting; eti -- attains; narah -- any person; akhila-arthan -- all desirable things.
Any person who hears or chants these pastimes Lord Murari performed with His cowherd friends -- the killing of Aghasura, the taking of lunch on the forest grass, the Lord's manifestation of transcendental forms, and the wonderful prayers offered by Lord Brahma -- is sure to achieve all his spiritual desires.
According to Srila Sanatana Gosvami, even one who is only inclined to hear and chant the pastimes of Lord Krishna will achieve spiritual perfection. Many devotees seriously engaged in propagating Krishna consciousness are often so busy that they cannot chant and hear the pastimes of the Lord to their full satisfaction. However, simply by their intense desire to always chant and hear about Lord Krishna, they will achieve spiritual perfection. Of course, as far as possible one should actually vibrate these transcendental pastimes of the Lord.
