त्वयि मेऽनन्यविषया मतिर्मधुपतेऽसकृत् ।
रतिमुद्वहतादद्धा गङ्गेवौघमुदन्वति ॥४२॥

tvayi me 'nanya-viṣayā
matir madhu-pate 'sakṛt
ratim udvahatād addhā
gaṅgevaugham udanvati


Text

Let my mind, with attention fixed on no other object, repeatedly carry its affection to you, chief of the Madhu dynasty, just as the Gaṅgā carries a full stream of water to the ocean.

Purport

“Then do you want realization of brahman? Because if you cut your affection for the Yadavas, you will cut your affection for me also.”

May my mind hold (udvahatat) affection (rati) for you, without any obstacle. Udvah means to flow strongly. The mind should not think of anything else (ananya-visaya). Your devotees are non-different from you and thus without affection for them affection for you cannot take place. It is not possible that this could please you. This I know. Therefore let my mind have attraction for no one except you and your devotees. I prayed to cut affectionate bonds with the Pandavas and Yadavas who are your devotees. But since it is a prayer in front of you it means cutting only the material affection which arises from bodily identification. It is not cutting the affectionate relation with you. I want to cut that affection which causes bondage. Just as the Ganga carries a full stream of water (ogham) to the ocean, the shelter of small and large rivers, may my mind also carry its affection to you, who are the shelter of all the devotees. Just as the Ganga does not consider any obstacles on its course, my mind also should not consider any obstacles that may rise while thinking of you.
