TRANSLATION

“‘Again let me offer my respectful obeisances unto the Supreme Per-
sonality of Godhead. O my Lord, | offer my obeisances hundreds and thou-
sands of times with all affection because by Your personal pastimes You
plunge the gopis into an ocean of nectar. Appreciating Your opulence, devo-
tees generally declare that You are always subjugated by their feelings.’

PURPORT

This verse is from the Damodarastaka in the Padma Purana. Attachment for
Krsna in santa-rasa, rendering service to the Lord in dasya-rasa, rendering relaxed
service in fraternity, and serving in parental love with feelings of maintenance all
combine on the platform of conjugal love when the devotee wants to serve the
Lord by offering Him his personal body. Thus the qualities of the other rasas com-
bine to form the nectar of conjugal love. On this platform, all the different feelings
of a devotee are amalgamated.
