50 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 7, Ch. 1

adhikdra-sthitas caiva
vimuktas ca dvidha janah

visnu-loka-sthitas tesam
vara-sapadi-yoginah

adhikdra-sthitarn muktim
niyatam pradpnuvanti ca

vimukty-anantaram tesarn
vara-sapadayo nanu

dehendriydsu-yuktas ca
plirvam pascdn na tair yutah
apy abhimanibhis tesarn
devaih svdtmottamair yutah

The purport is that the personal associates of Lord Visnu in
Vaikunthaloka are always liberated souls. Even if sometimes cursed or
blessed, they are always liberated and never contaminated by the ma-
terial modes of nature. Before their liberation to Vaikunthaloka they
possessed material bodies, but once they come to Vaikuntha they no
longer have them. Therefore even if the associates of Lord Visnu some-
times descend as if cursed, they are always liberated.
