Sa pag-iingat ng mga bisig nina Śrī Kṛṣṇa at Śrī Saṅkarṣaṇa, nadama ng mga taong iyon na natupad ang lahat ng hangarin; kaya namuhay sila sa tahanan na may ganap na ligaya. Dahil sa presensya nina Kṛṣṇa at Balarāma, nawala ang lagnat ng pag-iral sa samsara. Araw-araw, sa pag-ibig na debosyonal, minamasdan nila ang mukhang-lotus ni Mukunda na laging masaya at pinalalamutian ng mahabaging ngiting sulyap.
FAQs
This verse states that the women were “protected by the arms of Kṛṣṇa and Saṅkarṣaṇa,” indicating Bhagavān’s active guardianship that restores devotees’ peace and well-being.
Saṅkarṣaṇa here refers to Balarāma, Kṛṣṇa’s elder brother, celebrated for strength and for supporting Kṛṣṇa’s pastimes and protection of the devotees.
By repeatedly bringing the mind to Kṛṣṇa—through nāma-japa, kīrtana, and remembrance—inner “fever” like anxiety and grief is gradually calmed and redirected into devotion.
