his associates, the king surrendered himself as a disciple to Śukadeva Gosvāmī, the son of Vyāsa, and thus he was able to understand the actual position of the Personality of Godhead
The Personality of Godhead, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, is known as Ajita, "the unconquerable one," and He is so in every respect. No one can know His actual position. His dhāma, or eternal place, is Goloka Vṛndāvana, and there are many scholars who interpret this abode in different ways. But by the grace of a spiritual master like Śukadeva Gosvāmī, unto whom the king gave himself up as a most humble disciple, one is able to understand the actual position of the Lord, His eternal abode, and His transcendental paraphernalia in that abode.
Knowing the transcendental position of the Lord and the transcendental method by which one can approach His transcendental abode, the king was confident about his ultimate destination, and by knowing this he could leave aside everything material, even his own body, without any difficulty of attachment. In the Bhagavad-gītā it is stated, param dṛṣṭvā nivartate: one can give up all attachments for material sense objects when one is able to see the param, the superior quality of things. From the Bhagavad- gītā we also understand the quality of the Lord's energy that is superior to the material quality of energy, and by the grace of a bona fide spiritual master like Śukadeva Gosvāmī, it is quite possible to know everything of the superior energy of the Lord, by which the Lord manifests His eternal name, qualities, pastimes, paraphernalia, and variegatedness. Unless one thoroughly understands this superior energy of the Lord, it is not possible to leave the material energy, however one may theoretically speculate on the nature of the Absolute Truth. By the grace of Lord Kṛṣṇa, Mahārāja Parīkṣit was able to receive the mercy of such a personality as Śukadeva Gosvāmī, and thus he was able to know the actual position of the unconquerable Lord.
