TEXT

'অঙ্ঘ্রি পদ্মসুধা'য় কহে 'কৃষ্ণসঙ্গানন্দ' ।
বিধিমার্গে না পাইয়ে ব্রজে কৃষ্ণচন্দ্র ॥ ২২৬ ॥

'aṅghri-padma-sudha'ya kahe 'krsna-saṅgananda'

vidhi-marge na paiye vraje krsna-candra

SYNONYMS

aṅghri-padma-sudhaya-by the nectar derived from the lotus feet of Krsna; kahe-it says; krsna-saṅgananda-transcendental bliss by the association of Krsna; vidhi-marge-on the path of regulative principles; na paiye-one does not get; vraje-in Goloka Vrndavana; krsna-candra-Lord Krsna.

TRANSLATION

"The word 'aṅghri-padma-sudha' means 'associating intimately with Krsna.' One can attain such perfection only by spontaneous love of God. One cannot obtain Krsna in Goloka Vrndavana simply by serving the Lord according to regulative principles.
