দেখিয়া না মানে ঐশ্বর্য - কেবলার রীতি ॥ ১৯৪ ॥

aisvarya-jnana-pradhanye saṅkucita priti

dekhiya na mane aisvarya-kevalara riti

SYNONYMS

aisvarya-jnana-pradhanye-in the predominance of awe and veneration; saṅkucita-crippled; priti-love; dekhiya-seeing; na mane-does not care; aisvarya-opulence; kevalara riti-that is the symptom of pure devotional service.

TRANSLATION

"When opulence is very prominent, love of Godhead is somewhat crippled. According to kevala devotion, however, even though the devotee sees the unlimited potency of Krsna, he considers himself equal with Him.
