TRANSLATION
To achieve Visnuloka is very difficult, but by your austerity you
have conquered. Even the great rsis and demigods cannot achieve this
position. Simply to see the supreme abode [the Visnu planet], the sun
and moon and all the other planets, stars, lunar mansions and solar
systems are circumambulating it. Now please come; you are welcome to go
there.
From the Purport:
Even in this material world the so-called scientists, philosophers
and mental speculators strive to merge into the spiritual sky, but they
can never go there. But a devotee, by executing devotional service, not
only realizes what the spiritual world actually is, but factually goes
there to live an eternal life of bliss and knowledge. The Krsna
consciousness movement is so potent that by adopting these principles
of life and developing love of God one can very easily go back home,
back to Godhead. Here the practical example is the case of Dhruva
Maharaja. While the scientist and philosopher go to the moon but are
disappointed in their attempts to stay there and live, the devotee
makes an easy journey to other planets and ultimately goes back to
Godhead. Devotees have no interest in seeing other planets, but while
going back to Godhead, they see all of them as passing phases, just as
one who is going to a distant place passes through many small stations.

My dear King, the order carriers of Visnu, the Visnudutas,
immediately arrived when they heard the holy name of their master from
the mouth of the dying Ajamila, who had certainly chanted without
offense because he had chanted in complete anxiety.
