TRANSLATION
Absorbed in such transcendental love, Lord Sri Krsna enjoys in Vraja with His
devoted servants, friends, parents and conjugal lovers.
PURPORT
The descent of Sri Krsna, the Absolute Personality of Godhead, is very purposeful.
In Bhagavaa-gita it is said that one who knows the truth about Sri Krsna’s descent
and His various activities is at once liberated and does not have to fall again to this
existence of birth and death after he leaves his present material body. In other words,
one who factually understands Krsna makes his life perfect. Imperfect life is realized
in material existence, in five different relationships we share with everyone
within the material world: neutrality, servitorship, friendship, filial love, and amorous
love between husband and wife, or lover and beloved. These five enjoyable relation-
ships within the material world are perverted reflections of relationships with the
Absolute Personality of Godhead in the transcendental nature. That Absolute
Personality, Sri Krsna, descends to revive the five eternally existing relationships.
Thus He manifests His transcendental pastimes in Vraja so that people may be
attracted into that sphere of activities and leave aside their imitation relationships
with the mundane. Then, after fully exhibiting all such activities, the Lord disappears.
