nava-yogisvara janma haite 'sadhaka' jnani
vidhi-siva-narada-mukhe krsna-guna suni'
nava-nine; yogi-isvara-great saintly yogis; janma haite-from the very birth; sadhaka-practicers; jnani-well versed in transcendental knowledge; vidhi-Lord Brahma; siva-Lord Siva; narada-the great sage Narada; mukhe-in their mouths; krsna-guna suni'-hearing the transcendental qualities of Krsna.
"From their very births, the nine great mystic yogis [Yogendras] were impersonal philosophers of the Absolute Truth. However, because they heard about Lord Krsna's qualities from Lord Brahma, Lord Siva and the great sage Narada, they also became Krsna's devotees.
