### CC Antya 7.31

> ‘মোর সখা’, ‘মোর পুত্র’, — এই ‘শুদ্ধ’ মন ।\
> অতএব শুক-ব্যাস করে প্রশংসন ॥৩১॥

> 'mora sakhā,' 'mora putra,'—ei 'śuddha' mana\
> ataeva śuka-vyāsa kare praśaṁsana

*mora sakhā*—my friend; *mora putra*—my son; *ei*—this; *śuddha*—pure; *mana*—consciousness; *ataeva*—therefore; *śuka-vyāsa*—Śukadeva Gosvāmī and Vyāsadeva; *karepraśaṁsana*—praise.

**"In pure Kṛṣṇa consciousness, without knowledge of the Lord's opulences, a devotee considers Kṛṣṇa his friend or son. Therefore this devotional attitude is praised even by Śukadeva Gosvāmī and Vyāsadeva, the supreme authority.**
