The Activities of Sākṣi-gopāla
189
PURPORT
There are four points of instruction one should consider in the story of Sākṣi-gopāla. First, the Deity ( arcā-vigraha ) of Śrī Gopāla is eternally  sac-cid-ānanda-vigraha , the transcendental form of the Lord. Second, the Deity surpasses material regulative principles and extends the reality of transcendental principles. Third, one can be situated in a transcendental position after becoming a  brāhmaṇa , but as a  brāhmaṇa , one has to follow the regulative principles very strictly. Lastly,  brahmaṇya-deva  indicates Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa Himself, who is worshiped thus:  namo brahmaṇya-devāya go-brāhmaṇa-hitāya ca/ jagad-dhitāya kṛṣṇāya govindāya namo namaḥ . This indicates that a devotee who is under the protection of Kṛṣṇa is automatically situated as a  brāhmaṇa , and such a  brāhmaṇa  is not illusioned. This is factual.
