TRANSLATION
[The verse read:] “One who seeks Your compassion and thus tolerates all kinds of adverse conditions due to the karma of his past deeds, who engages always in Your devotional service with his mind, words and body, and who always offers obeisances unto You is certainly a bona fide candidate for becoming Your unalloyed devotee.”
PURPORT
When reading this verse from  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  (10.14.8), Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya changed the original reading from  mukti-pade  to  bhakti-pade .  Mukti  means liberation and merging into the impersonal Brahman effulgence.  Bhakti  means rendering transcendental service unto the Supreme Personality of God-head. Because of having developed pure devotional service, the Bhaṭṭācārya did not like the word  mukti-pade , which refers to the impersonal Brahman feature of the Lord. However, he was not authorized to change a word in the  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam , as Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu will explain. Although the Bhaṭṭācārya changed the word in his devotional ecstasy, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu did not approve of it.
