TRANSLATION

The same Supreme Personality of Godhead who appeared as the son of mother Yasoda has now appeared as the son of mother Saci, relishing four kinds of devotional activities.

PURPORT

Servitude, friendship, paternal affection and conjugal love for the Supreme Personality of Godhead are the basis of the four kinds of devotional activities. In santa, the marginal stage of devotional service, there is no activity. But above the santa humor are servitude, friendship, paternal affection and conjugal love, which represent the gradual growth of devotional service to higher and higher platforms.
