The pure devotional service in Vá¹›ndÄvana is like the golden particles in the river JÄmbÅ«. In Vá¹›ndÄvana there is not a trace of personal sense gratification. It is to advertise such pure love in this material world that ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu has written the previous verse and explained its meaning.
