TRANSLATION

"When one is fully attached to Krsna's lotus feet, one attains the samata stage. The word samata is derived from the word sama; therefore santa-rasa, the position of neutrality, means being fully attached to the lotus feet of Krsna. This is the verdict from the mouth of the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself. This state is called self-realization.

PURPORT

The word sama is explained by the Supreme Personality of Godhead in the following verse.
