duḥkha - unhappiness; nā - do not; bhāviha - bear; bhaṭṭa - My dear Veṅkaṭa Bhaṭṭa; kailuṅ parihāsa - I was simply making a joke; śāstra-siddhānta - the conclusion of the revealed scriptures; śuna - hear; yāte - in which; vaiṣṇava-viśvāsa - the faith of the Vaiṣṇavas.

The Lord pacified Veṅkaṭa Bhaṭṭa by saying, “Actually whatever I have said is by way of jest. Now you can hear from Me the conclusion of the śāstras, in which every Vaiṣṇava devotee has firm faith.
