tara sparse nahi yaya pativrata-dharma
kautuke laksmi cahena krsnera sangama

SYNONYMS
tara sparse —by the touching of Krsna by Laksmi; nahi—does not; yaya—disap-
pear; pati-vrata-dharma—the vow of chastity; kautuke—in great fun; laksmi—
the goddess of fortune; caéhena—wants; krsmera—of Lord Krsna; sarigama—
association.

TRANSLATION

“Since Krsna and Narayana are both the same personality, Laksmi’s associa-
tion with Krsna does not break her vow of chastity. Rather, it was in great fun
that the goddess of fortune wanted to associate with Lord Krsna.”
