After this, the other devotees—headed by Nityananda Prabhu, Jagadanan-
da, Mukunda and Damodara— began to consider a certain plan.

PURPORT

Even though a person is rejected by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the
devotees of the Lord do not reject him; therefore the Lord’s devotees are more
merciful than the Lord Himself. Srila Narottama dasa Thakura thus sings, chadiya
vaisnava-sevd nistara pdyeche kebad: one cannot be relieved from material
clutches without engaging in the service of pure devotees. The Lord Himself may
sometimes be very hard, but the devotees are always kind. Thus Kala Krsnadasa
received the mercy of the four devotees mentioned above.
