Purport

According to the Sanskrit dictionary Amara-koÅ›a, sex life is also called grÄmya-dharma, material desire, but in spiritual life this grÄmya-dharma, the material desire for sex, is not very much appreciated. If one has a tinge of attachment for the material enjoyments of eating, sleeping, mating and defending, one is not niá¹£kiñcana. But one really should be niá¹£kiñcana. Therefore, one should be free from the desire to beget a child like Kṛṣṇa by sexual enjoyment. This is indirectly hinted at in this verse.
