# Cc. Ādi 17.54 ## Text > eta bali' gelā prabhu karite gaṅgā-snāna > sei pāpī duḥkha bhoge, nā yāya parāṇa ## Synonyms *eta* *bali'*—saying this; *gelā*—went away; *prabhu*—the Lord; *karite*—to take; *gaṅgā*-*snāna*—a bath in the Ganges; *sei*—that; *pāpī*—sinful man; *duḥkha*—pains; *bhoge*—suffers; *nā*—not; *yāya*—go away; *parāṇa*—the life. ## Translation **After saying this, the Lord left to take His bath in the Ganges, and that sinful man did not give up his life but continued to suffer.** ## Purport It appears that an offender to a Vaiṣṇava continues to suffer and does not give up his life. We have actually seen that a great *vaiṣṇava-aparādhī* is continuously suffering so much that it is difficult for him to move, and yet he does not die.
