"The word 'atma-bhuta' means 'personal associates.' Through the understanding of opulence, the goddess of fortune could not receive the shelter of Krsna; the son of Nanda Maharaja.
PURPORT
Laksmi, the goddess of fortune, has complete knowledge of Krsna's opulences, but she could not achieve the association of Krsna by dint of such knowledge. The devotees in Vrndavana, however, actually enjoy the association of Krsna.
