Devotees’ ecstasy fills Kṛṣṇa with wonder
“Even Lord Kṛṣṇa is struck with wonder at seeing the transformations of ecstasy in His devotees. If Kṛṣṇa Himself cannot estimate the limits of such emotions, how could others?”
What the purport teaches
- Lord Kṛṣṇa sees the transformations of ecstasy in His devotees.
- Even Kṛṣṇa is struck with wonder at these transformations.
- Kṛṣṇa Himself cannot estimate the limits of such emotions, so the verse asks how others could.
