> ভক্তিসুখ-আগে ‘মুক্তি’ অতি-তুচ্ছ হয় ।\
> অতএব ভক্তগণ ‘মুক্তি’ নাহি লয় ॥১৯৬॥

*bhakti-sukha*—transcendental bliss derived from devotional service; *āge*—before; *mukti*—liberation; *ati-tuccha*—extremely insignificant; *haya*—is; *ataeva*—therefore; *bhakta-gaṇa*—pure devotees; *mukti*—liberation; *nāhi laya*—do not accept.

**"For a devotee who enjoys the transcendental bliss of devotional service, liberation is most insignificant. Therefore pure devotees never desire to achieve liberation.**
