Dilindungi oleh lengan Śrī Kṛṣṇa dan Śrī Saṅkarṣaṇa, para anggota kaum itu merasa semua keinginan mereka telah terpenuhi; maka mereka bersukacita di rumah dengan kebahagiaan sempurna. Karena hadirat Kṛṣṇa dan Balarāma, demam samsara pun lenyap. Setiap hari, dengan cinta, mereka memandang wajah teratai Mukunda yang selalu ceria, dihiasi senyum penuh belas kasih.
