mumukṣavaḥ — persons desiring liberation;  ghora —horrible, ghastly;  rūpān —forms like that;  hitvā —rejecting;  bhūta-patīn —demigods;  atha —for this reason;  nārāyaṇa —the Personality of Godhead;  kalāḥ —plenary portions;  śāntāḥ —all-blissful;  bhajanti —do worship;  hi —certainly;  anasūyavaḥ —non-envious.
TRANSLATION
Those who are serious about liberation are certainly nonenvious, and they respect all. Yet they reject the horrible and ghastly forms of the demigods and worship only the all-blissful forms and plenary portions of Lord Viṣṇu.
PURPORT
The Supreme Personality of Godhead Śrī Kṛṣṇa, who is the original person of the Viṣṇu categories, expands Himself in two different categories, namely integrated plenary portions and separated parts and parcels. The separated parts and parcels are the servitors, and the integrated plenary portions of  Viṣṇu-tattvas  are the worshipful objects of service.
All demigods who are empowered by the Supreme Lord are also separated parts and parcels. They do not belong to the categories of  Viṣṇu-tattva . The  Viṣṇu-tattvas  are equally powerful living beings like the original form of the Personality of Godhead, and they display only different categories of power in consideration of different times and circumstances. The separated parts and parcels are powerful by limitation. They do not have unlimited power like the  Viṣṇu-tattvas . Therefore, the  Viṣṇu-tattvas , or the plenary portions of  Nārāyaṇa , the Personality of Godhead, are never to be classified in the same categories with the parts and parcels. If anyone does so he becomes at once an offender by the name  pāśaṇḍī . In the age of Kali many foolish persons commit such unlawful offenses and equalize the two categories.
