Text 161] The Activities of Saksi-gopala 189

PURPORT

There are four points of instruction one should consider in the story of Saksi-
gopila. First, the Deity (arcd-vigraha) of Sri Gopala is eternally sac-cid-ananda-
vigraha, the transcendental form of the Lord. Second, the Deity surpasses material
regulative principles and extends the reality of transcendental principles. Third,
one can be situated in a transcendental position after becoming a brahmana, but
as a brahmana, one has to follow the regulative principles very strictly. Lastly,
brahmanya-deva indicates Lord Sri Krsna Himself, who is worshiped thus: namo
brahmanya-devaya go-brahmana-hitaya ca/ jagad-dhitaya krsmaya govindaya
namo namah. This indicates that a devotee who is under the protection of Krsna is
automatically situated as a brahmana, and such a bréhmana is not illusioned. This
is factual.
