TRANSLATION
Upon hearing the speaking of her husband, who excelled in knowledge
of all kinds of transcendental science, innocent Devahiti was very satisfied.
Her smiling face shining with a slightly bashful glance, she spoke in a
choked voice because of great humility and love.
PURPORT
It is said that if anyone is already engaged in Krgna consciousness and is
rendering transcendental loving service to the Lord, then it can be supposed
that he has finished all the recommended courses of austerity, penance,
religion, sacrifice, mystic yoga and meditation. Devahiti’s husband was so
expert in the transcendental science that there was nothing for him to
argue about, and when she heard him speak she was confident that since
he was very much advanced in devotional service he had already surpassed
all transcendental educational activities. She had no doubt about the
gifts offered by her husband; she knew that he was expert in offering
such gifts, and when she understood that he was offering the greatest
gift, she was very satisfied. She was overwhelmed with ecstatic love, and
therefore she could not reply; then, with faltering language, just like an
attractive wife, she spoke the following words.
