Protegidos por los brazos del Señor Kṛṣṇa y del Señor Saṅkarṣaṇa, los miembros de aquellos linajes sintieron colmados todos sus anhelos; así, en sus hogares gozaron de una dicha perfecta.

Cada día, con amor, contemplaban el rostro de loto de Mukunda, siempre jubiloso, adornado con miradas sonrientes llenas de misericordia.
