The Parabrahman is the original eternal form of bliss, as well as a deep reservoir of all transcendental mellows. 4-5) How can any ordinary argument ever be able to touch this truth?

samadhistha ho'ye dekho, susthira antare, he sadhaka! rasa-tattva akhanda ananda; kintu tahe asvadaka-asvadya-bidhana, nitya-dharma anusyuta!
samadhistha ho'ye dekho, susthira antare, he sadhaka! rasa-tattva akhanda ananda; kintu tahe asvadaka-asvadya-bidhana, nitya-dharma anusyuta!
समधिस्थ होऽये देखो, सुस्थिर अन्तरे, हे सधक! रसतत्त्व अखन्द अनन्द; किन्तु तहे अस्वदकअस्वद्यबिधन, नित्यधर्म अनुस्युत!
Oh aspiring devotee! Just see the characteristics of samadhi with an unagitated and peaceful mind. The truth of mellows is complete, absolutely undivided supreme bliss. However, within that, the dealings between the taster of mellows and that which is tasted have an eternal principle that is inseparable.
- Verse 7
advitiya prabhu, asvadaka krsna-rupa, --- asvadya radhika, dvaitananda! parananda-pitha brndabana!
advitiya prabhu, asvadaka krsna-rupa, --- asvadya radhika, dvaitananda! parananda-pitha brndabana!
अद्वितिय प्रभु, अस्वदक क्र्स्नरुप, अस्वद्य रधिक, द्वैतनन्द! परनन्दपिथ ब्र्न्दबन!
The Supreme Lord is one without a second, and in His original form of Lord Krsna He is the taster of transcendental mellows, and His object to be tasted is Sri Radhika. Oh, the joy of the meeting of the Supreme subject and object! And their transcendentally blissful meeting place is Sri Vrndavana.
- Verse 8
prakrta jagate ja'r prakasa-bisesa, jogamaya prakasita; tanhar asraye labhiche sadhaka-brnda nitya prema-tattva --- adarsa, jahar nama baikuntha-kalyan
prakrta jagate ja'r prakasa-bisesa, jogamaya prakasita; tanhar asraye labhiche sadhaka-brnda nitya prema-tattva --- adarsa, jahar nama baikuntha-kalyan
प्रक्र्त जगते जऽर प्रकसबिसेस, जोगमय प्रकसित; तन्हर अस्रये लभिछे सधकब्र्न्द नित्य प्रेमतत्त्व अदर्स, जहर नम बैकुन्थकल्यन
The special manifestation of Sri Vrndavana within the material universe is revealed directly by Yogamaya. Those aspiring devotees who take the refuge of This Vrndavana attain the eternal truth of ecstatic love. Indeed, the very name of this model of Vrndavana here on the earth's surface is all-auspicious even within the realm of Vaikuntha!
- Verse 9
jadi caha nityananda pravaha sevite abirata, guru-padasraya koro' jiba
jadi caha nityananda pravaha sevite abirata, guru-padasraya koro' jiba
जदि चह नित्यनन्द प्रवह सेविते अबिरत, गुरुपदस्रय कोरोऽ जिब
If the living entity ever wants to continuously render service to the flowing current of eternal bliss, he takes shelter of the feet of a bona fide spiritual master.
- Verse 10
nirasa bhajana samudaya parihari brahma-cinta adi jata, sada sadha' rati, kusumita brndabane sri-rasa-mandale
nirasa bhajana samudaya parihari brahma-cinta adi jata, sada sadha' rati, kusumita brndabane sri-rasa-mandale
निरस भजन समुदय परिहरि ब्रह्मचिन्त अदि जत, सद सधऽ रति, कुसुमित ब्र्न्दबने स्रिरसमन्दले
Then he rejects all types of dry, sapless worship which is devoid of appreciation for higher sentiments; he reflects deeply on the nature of the Absolute, and always arduously endeavors with taste to lovingly worship the circle of the divine rasa dance in Vrndavana (the rasa-mandala).
- Verse 11
purusatava-ahankara nitanta durbala taba! tumi suddha jiba! asvadya svajana, sri-radhikar nitya sakhi! parananda-rasa anubhavi'! maya-bhoga tomar patana!!
purusatava-ahankara nitanta durbala taba! tumi suddha jiba! asvadya svajana, sri-radhikar nitya sakhi! parananda-rasa anubhavi'! maya-bhoga tomar patana!!
पुरुसतवअहन्कर नितन्त दुर्बल तब! तुमि सुद्ध जिब! अस्वद्य स्वजन, स्रिरधिकर नित्य सखि! परनन्दरस अनुभविऽ! मयभोग तोमर पतन!!
My friend, your false egoistic conception of being a male is extremely feeble, for you are actually pure spirit soul! And your real family comprises the beloved objects which are tasted by Krsna, namely the eternal maidservants of Sri Radhika! Just realize the mellows of such transcendental ecstasy! The enjoyment of maya is your downfall!!
