PURPORT

All the inhabitants of Vrndavana are Vaisnavas. They are all-auspicious because
somehow or other they always chant the holy name of Krsna. Even though some of
them do not strictly follow the rules and regulations of devotional service, on the

He is not different from Radha and Kysna. But some misled people try to prove
that they are greatly elevated by saying that they like to chant the holy name of,
