tad gacchatam mat-paramau
nalakivara sadanam

safijato mayi bhavo vam
ipsitah paramo ’bhavah

tat gacchatam—now both of you may return; mat-paramau—accept-
ing Me as the supreme destination of life; nalakiivara—O Nalakivara
and Manigriva; sddanam—to your home; safijdtah—being saturated
with; mayi—unto Me; bhdévah—devotional service; vam—by you;
ipsitah—which was desired; paramah—supreme, highest, always
engaged with all senses; abhavah—from which there is no falldown into
material existence.

TRANSLATION

O Nalakiivara and Manigriva, now you may both return home.
Since you desire to be always absorbed in My devotional service,
your desire to develop love and affection for Me will be fulfilled,
and now you will never fall from that platform.

PURPORT

The highest perfection of life is to come to the platform of devotional
service and always engage in devotional activities. Understanding this,
Nalakivara and Manigriva desired to attain that platform, and the
Supreme Personality of Godhead blessed them with the fulfillment of
their transcendental desire.
