Text 42

guëäs tu te präkåta-dharma-çünyä
doñä api syü rasa eva manyäù
nanda-vraje kauöukam eva sarvaà
kharvaà vidhatte tri-guëo 'tha garvam

guëäù—qualities; tu—indeed; te—they; präkrta—material; dharma—
attributes; çunyä-without; doñäù—faults; api—even; syüù—may be; rase—
in the transcendental mellows; manyäù—considered; nanda—of Nanda
Maharaja; vraje—in Vrajabhumi; kauöukam—wonder; eva—certainly; ;
sarvam—everything; kharvam—crippled; vidhatte—places; tri-guëaù—

The vrajaväsés are filled with auspicious spiritual qualities. They
have no material attributes. What may even seem to be faults on their
part are actually auspicious and spiritual when seen in connection
to their transcendental rasa with Kåñëa. Seeing this wonderful
condition of the residents of Nanda Mahäräja's Vrajabhümi, the
three modes of material nature have become embarassed. They have
relinquished all their pride in being able to control others.
