yatra - where; ha vÄva - certainly; bhagavÄn - the Supreme Personality of Godhead; hariḥ - the Lord; adya-api - even today; tatratyÄnÄm - residing in that place; nija-janÄnÄm - for His own devotees; vÄtsalyena - by His transcendental affection; sannidhÄpyate - becomes visible; icchÄ-rÅ«peṇa - according to the desire of the devotee.
At Pulaha-ÄÅ›rama, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Hari, out of His transcendental affection for His devotee, becomes visible to His devotee, satisfying His devotee’s desires.
The Lord always exists in different transcendental forms. As stated in Brahma-saá¹hitÄ (5.39):
rÄmÄdi-mÅ«rtiá¹£u kalÄ-niyamena tiá¹£á¹han
nÄnÄvatÄram akarod bhuvaneá¹£u kintu
kṛṣṇaḥ svayaá¹ samabhavat paramaḥ pumÄn yo
govindam Ädi-puruá¹£aá¹ tam ahaá¹ bhajÄmi
The Lord is situated as Himself, Lord Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and He is accompanied by His expansions like Lord RÄma, Baladeva, Saá¹…kará¹£aṇa, NÄrÄyaṇa, MahÄ-Viṣṇu and so forth. The devotees worship all these forms according to their liking, and the Lord, out of His affection, presents Himself as arcÄ-vigraha. He sometimes presents Himself personally before the devotee out of reciprocation or affection. A devotee is always fully surrendered to the loving service of the Lord, and the Lord is visible to the devotee according to the devotee’s desires. He may be present in the form of Lord RÄma, Lord Kṛṣṇa, Lord Ná¹›siá¹hadeva and so on. Such is the exchange of love between the Lord and His devotees.
