TRANSLATION

“One who worships the Lord by following in the footsteps of the inhabi-
tants of Vrajabhami attains the Lord and gets to know Him as He is known in
the transcendental planet of Vraja. There He is known as the son of Maharaja
Nanda.”

PURPORT

The inhabitants of VrajabhGmi, or Goloka Vrndavana, know Krsna as the son of
Maharaja Nanda. They do not accept Him as the Supreme Personality of God-
head. The Lord is the supreme maintainer of everyone and the chief personality
among all personalities. In VrajabhGmi Krsna is certainly the central point of love,
but no one knows Him there as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Rather, a
person may know Him as a friend, son, lover or master. In any case, the center is
Krsna. The inhabitants of VrajabhGmi are related to the Lord in servitude, friend-
ship, paternal love and conjugal love. A person engaged in devotional service may
accept any one of these transcendental relationships, which are known as
mellows. One who is in the perfectional stage may return home, back to God-
head, and attain his pure spiritual identity.
