“Thus I have narrated the incident of the hunter. By hearing this narration, one can understand the influence of association with devotees.
Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu wanted to stress that even a hunter, the lowest of men, could become a topmost Vaiṣṇava simply by associating with Nārada Muni or a devotee in his bona fide disciplic succession.
