550 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta

Godhead of those engaged in pdficaratrika regulative principles depends more or
less on the opulent and reverential platform, but the worship of Radha and Krsna
is purely on the platform of transcendental love. Even persons who play as the
superiors of Krsna also take the chance to offer transcendental loving service to the
Lord. The service attitude of the devotees who play the parts of superiors of the
Lord is very difficult to understand, but can be very plainly understood in connec-
tion with the superexcellence of their particular service to Lord Krsna. A vivid
example is the service of mother YaSoda to Krsna, which is distinct. In the feature
of Narayana, the Lord can accept services only from His associates who play parts
in which they are equal to or less than Him, but in the feature of Lord Krsna He
accepts service very plainly from His fathers, teachers and other elders who are
His superiors, as well as from His equals and His subordinates. This is very wonderful.
