অসুরস্বভাবে কৃষ্ণে কভু নাহি জানে ।
লুকাইতে নারে কৃষ্ণ ভক্তজন-স্থানে ॥ ৯০ ॥

asura-svabhave krsne kabhu nahi jane

lukaite nare krsna bhakta-jana-sthane

SYNONYMS

asura-svabhave-those whose nature is demoniac; krsne-Lord Krsna; kabhu-at any time; nahi-not; jane-know; lukaite-to hide; nare-is not able; krsna-Lord Krsna; bhakta-jana-of pure devotees; sthane-in a place.

TRANSLATION

Those whose nature is demoniac cannot know Krsna at any time, but He cannot hide Himself from His pure devotees.

PURPORT

People who develop the nature of asuras like Ravana and Hiranyakasipu can never know Krsna, the Personality of Godhead, by challenging the authority of Godhead. But Sri Krsna cannot hide Himself from His pure devotees.
