vraja-lokera-of the inhabitants of Vrajabhumi; bhave-in the ecstasy; yei-anyone who; karaye-does; bhajana-worship; sei jana-that person; paya-attains; vraje-in Vraja; vrajendra-nandana-Lord Krsna, the son of Maharaja Nanda.
TRANSLATION
"One who worships the Lord by following in the footsteps of the inhabitants of Vrajabhumi attains the Lord and gets to know Him as He is known in the transcendental planet of Vraja. There He is known as the son of Maharaja Nanda."
PURPORT
The inhabitants of Vrajabhumi, or Goloka Vrndavana, know Krsna as the son of Maharaja Nanda. They do not accept Him as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The Lord is the supreme maintainer of everyone and the chief personality among all personalities. In Vrajabhumi Krsna is certainly the central point of love, but no one knows Him there as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Rather, a person may know Him as a friend, son, lover or master. In any case, the center is Krsna. The inhabitants of Vrajabhumi are related to the Lord in servitude, friendship, paternal love and conjugal love. A person engaged in devotional service may accept any one of these transcendental relationships, which are known as mellows. One who is in the perfectional stage may return home, back to Godhead, and attain his pure spiritual identity.
