Chapter 7: The Meeting of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Vallabha Bhatta. Text 30

Å›uddha-bhÄve sakhÄ kare skandhe Ärohaṇa
Å›uddha-bhÄve vrajeÅ›varÄ« karena bandhana

 Å›uddha-bhÄve - in pure Kṛṣṇa consciousness; sakhÄ - friend; kare - does; skandhe - on the shoulder; Ärohaṇa - rising; Å›uddha-bhÄve - in pure Kṛṣṇa consciousness; vraja-Ä«Å›varÄ« - the Queen of Vraja; karena bandhana - binds.


Text

“In pure Kṛṣṇa consciousness, a friend mounts the shoulder of Kṛṣṇa, and mother YaÅ›odÄ binds the Lord.

Purport

Åšuddha-bhÄva, pure Kṛṣṇa consciousness, is not dependent on an understanding of the Lord’s opulences. Even without such opulences, the devotee in Å›uddha-bhÄva is inclined to love Kṛṣṇa as a friend or son.
