त्यक्त्वा गोवर्धने वासं त्यक्त्वा श्रीकृष्णकीर्तनम् |
वृथा दधाति भूभारं मर्त्योsनित्यं कलेबरम् ||
परमानन्ददासस्य कृष्णप्रेमरतस्य तु |
सार्थं हि तस्य नामापि परमानन्दरूपिणः ||
सामान्यं जीवितं लोके विचारः परमोत्तमः |
साधूनां लक्षणं ह्येतत्सर्वमानवरञ्चकम् ||
डाम्भिकाश्च धनोन्मत्ता व्यर्थाडम्बरजीविताः |
एतत्तत्वं न जानन्ति पवित्रं साधुजीवनम् ||
Man unnecessarily bears the deadweight of his body, which is a burden for the earth, forgetting Krishna kirtan and the meaningful stay on the Govardhana Hill. The very name of Paramanandadasa became meaningful as he had deep longing for Krishna prem. Simple living and high thinking - this noble ideal of the sadhus appeals to all the people on this earth. Does it not? Those proud people who take delight in displaying their wealth rolling in pomp and show do not understand the meaning of such a simple and pious life.
Thus ends Chapter Eight entitled 'Paramamandadasa Charitam' of Book VII of Shri Vaishnava Samhita composed by Shri Shri Krishna Premi Swamigal
