PURPORT

In this regard, Srila Madhvacarya says in his Tantra-sara:

dvah-sthav ity anenadhikara-sthatvam uktam

adhikara-sthitas caiva
vimuktas ca dvidha janah
visnu-loka-sthitas tesam
vara-sapadi-yoginah

adhikara-sthitam muktim
niyatam prapnuvanti ca
vimukty-anantaram tesam
vara-sapadayo nanu

dehendriyasu-yuktas ca
purvam pascan na tair yutah
apy abhimanibhis tesam
devaih svatmottamair yutah

The purport is that the personal associates of Lord Visnu in Vaikunthaloka are always liberated souls. Even if sometimes cursed or blessed, they are always liberated and never contaminated by the material modes of nature. Before their liberation to Vaikunthaloka they possessed material bodies, but once they come to Vaikuntha they no longer have them. Therefore even if the associates of Lord Visnu sometimes descend as if cursed, they are always liberated.
