evaḿ me puṇḍarīkākṣa
mahāntaḿ saḿśayaḿ hṛdi
chettum arhasi sarva-jña
vacobhir naya-naipuṇaiḥ
evam -- thus; me -- my; pundarika-aksha -- O lotus-eyed Lord; mahantam -- great; samsayam -- doubt; hridi -- within my heart; chettum -- cut; arhasi -- You should please; sarva-jna -- O omniscient one; vacobhih -- with Your words; naya -- in reasoning; naipunaih -- very expert.
O lotus-eyed Krishna, O omniscient Lord, kindly cut this great doubt out of my heart with Your own words, which exhibit Your great skill in reasoning.
Sri Uddhava requests Lord Krishna to clearly demonstrate the difference between the material body and the spirit soul.
