avatÄra-gaṇera bhakta-bhÄve adhikÄra
bhakta-bhÄva haite adhika sukha nÄhi Ära
avatÄra-gaṇera - of all the incarnations; bhakta-bhÄve - in the emotion of a devotee; adhikÄra - there is the right; bhakta-bhÄva - the emotion of being a devotee; haite - than; adhika - greater; sukha - happiness; nÄhi - not; Ära - any other.
All the incarnations are entitled to the emotions of devotees. There is no higher bliss than this.
All the different incarnations of Lord Viṣṇu have the right to play the roles of servitors of Lord Kṛṣṇa by descending as devotees. When an incarnation gives up the understanding of His Godhood and plays the part of a servitor, He enjoys a greater taste of transcendental mellows than when He plays the part of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
