B

- Durvasa Muni, because he offended to Ambarisa Maharaja, he was not excused even by Visnu. He had to fall down on the feet of Maharaja Ambarisa. Yes. Ambarisa upakhyana. So vaisnava-aparadha is the greatest offense
E
- Especially in India, there are many such doctors (who becomes a doctor by practical knowledge) who perform their medical services perfectly. They are accepted even by the government

- Even by conversing with such great souls, one can without delay cleanse oneself of all disqualifications resulting from lower births
- Even by killing vegetable, you are also as sinful as killing animal. But because we offer to Krsna, therefore we are not sinful. Krsna wants it

- Even by this injunction of the sastras, the stepmother, who is the wife of the father, is also as good as the mother because the father is also one of the spiritual masters
- Even though a woman be made of wood or stone, she becomes attractive when decorated. One becomes sexually agitated even by touching the form. Therefore one should not trust his mind, which is so fickle
- Everyone in the human form of life should be induced to associate with devotees. By rendering a little service, even by eating prasadam, what to speak of chanting and dancing, everyone can be promoted to Vaikunthaloka
- Everything is related to Him, and everything has its identity in Him. It is stated herein (SB 1.1.14) that the name of Krsna is feared even by fear personified. This indicates that the name of Krsna is nondifferent from Krsna
F

- He (the sage) was very, very sorry, but what can be done? The brahmana boy's curse (on Pariksit Maharaja) must be effective. That because in those days brahmanas, even by caste, was very, very strong in spiritual strength
- His (Krsna's) transcendental attributes cannot be measured even by such powerful isvaras as Siva and Brahma. Therefore Lord Krsna is the exclusive shelter of the greatest of all living beings
- His transcendental bliss increased at every moment. Therefore even by midafternoon the dancing had not ended
- How long you will live? When the time of death comes, you will not live longer even by a moment. When a man is going to die, his life is finished. Can your injection, medicine, give one minute's life more? Is there any medicine?
I
