TRANSLATION
My dear Prahlada, may you live a long time. One cannot appreci-
ate or understand Me without pleasing Me, but one who has seen
or pleased Me has nothing more for which to lament for his own
satisfaction.
PURPORT
One cannot be happy under any circumstances unless one pleases the
Supreme Personality of Godhead, but one who has learned how to please
the Supreme Lord need no longer lament for his material condition.
