PURPORT

The stage of loving service to the Lord in paternal affection is an advanced stage of love in fraternity. In the fraternal relationship there is a sense of equality, but when that sense of equality is advanced in affection, one attains the platform of parental love. In this connection, the following verse is cited from Srimad-Bhagavatam (10.8.46), wherein Sukadeva Gosvami voices his appreciation of Nanda Maharaja's and mother Yasoda's intense love for Krsna.
