Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.2.14 — August 17, 1972, Los Angeles 720817SB-LOS ANGELES [55:18 Minutes] SB-01.02.14_720817SB-LOS ANGELES Prabhupāda: [sings Jaya Rādhā-Mādhava] [prema-dhvani] Thank you very much.
Devotees: All glories to Śrī Guru and Gauranga. [devotees offer obeisances]
Prabhupāda: Hmm. Go on. Pradyumna: Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.
Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Text number 14. [leads chanting of verse] [Prabhupāda and devotees repeat] tasmād ekena manasā bhagavān sātvatāṁ patiḥ śrotavyaḥ kīrtitavyaś ca dhyeyaḥ pūjyaś ca nityadā [SB 1.2.14] Prabhupāda: [corrects pronunciation] Ladies? Ladies.
Devotee: She's in the kitchen, Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: All right. Go on. Any other lady? That's all.
So read the word meaning. Pradyumna: [leads chanting of synonyms] tasmāt—therefore; ekena—by one; manasā—attention of the mind; bhagavān—the Personality of Godhead; sātvatām—of the devotees; patiḥ—protector; śrotavyaḥ—is to be heard; kīrtitavyaḥ—to be glorified; ca—and; dhyeyaḥ—to be remembered; pūjyaḥ—to be worshiped; ca—and; nityadā—constantly. [12:03] Translation: "Therefore devotees should constantly hear about, glorify, remember and worship the Personality of Godhead, Bhagavān, who is their protector." Prabhupāda: Hm. So tasmāt. Tasmāt, "therefore." It is continuation of the last verse.
