देवानां शुद्धसत्त्वानाम् ऋषीणां चामलात्मनाम् ।
भक्तिर्मुकुन्दचरणे न प्रायेणोपजायते ॥ २ ॥

devanam suddha-sattvanam

rsinam camalatmanam

bhaktir mukunda-carane

na prayenopajayate

devanam-of the demigods; suddha-sattvanam-whose minds are purified; rsinam-of great saintly persons; ca-and; amala-atmanam-who have purified their existence; bhaktih-devotional service; mukunda-carane-to the lotus feet of Mukunda, the Lord, who can give liberation; na-not; prayena-almost always; upajayate-develops.

TRANSLATION

Demigods situated in the mode of goodness and great saints cleansed of the dirt of material enjoyment hardly ever render pure devotional service at the lotus feet of Mukunda. [Therefore how could Vrtrasura have become such a great devotee?]
