According to the  Śabda-kośa Dictionary , the affix  ni  is used in the sense of 1) certainty, 2) counting, 3) building, and 4) forbiddance, and the word  grantha  is used in the sense of wealth, thesis, vocabulary, etc.
The word  urukrama  means the one whose activities are glorious.  Krama  means step. This word  urukrama  specifically indicates the Lord's incarnation as Vāmana, who covered the whole universe by immeasurable steps.

These mystic powers are mentioned in the  Bhāgavatam  (11.15). The forms of liberation are five in number.
Therefore, unalloyed devotion means service to the Lord without desire for the above-mentioned personal benefits. And the powerful Personality of Godhead Śrī Kṛṣṇa can be fully satisfied by such unalloyed devotees free from all sorts of desires for personal benefit.
Unalloyed devotional service of the Lord progresses in different stages. Practice of devotional service in the material field is of eighty-one different qualities, and above such activities there is the transcendental practice of devotional service, which is one and is called  sādhana-bhakti .
