atmadi-stamba-paryantair
mirtimadbhis cardcaraih

nrtya-gitady-anekarhaih
prthak prthag updasitah

atma-ddi-stamba-paryantaih—from Lord Brahma to the insignificant
living entity; mirti-madbhih—assuming some form; cara-acaraih—
both the moving and the nonmoving; nrtya-gita-ddi-aneka-arhaih—by
many varied means of worship, such as dancing and singing; prthak
prthak—differently; updasitah —who were being worshiped.

TRANSLATION

All beings, both moving and nonmoving, from the four-headed
Lord Brahma down to the most insignificant living entity, had
taken forms and were differently worshiping those visnu-mirtis,
according to their respective capacities, with various means of
worship, such as dancing and singing.

PURPORT

Innumerable living entities are engaged in different types of worship
of the Supreme, according to their abilities and karma, but everyone is
engaged (jivera ‘svaripa’ haya—krsnera ‘nitya-dasa’); there is no one
who is not serving. Therefore the mahd-bhagavata, the topmost devotee,
sees everyone as being engaged in the service of Krsna; only himself
does he see as not engaged. We have to elevate ourselves from a lower
position to a higher position, and the topmost position is that of direct
service in Vrndavana. But everyone is engaged in service. Denial of the
service of the Lord is maya.

ekale isvara krsna, dra saba bhrtya
yare yaiche nacaya, se taiche kare nrtya
