তুমি সাক্ষাৎ সেই কৃষ্ণ, জান নিজকর্ম ।

yāre jānāha, sei jāne tomāra līlā-marma
“You are the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa Himself. You know the purport of Your activities, and the person whom You enlighten can also understand Your pastimes.”
Read Śrīla Prabhupāda's purport on Vedabase.ioThree study points drawn from the translation and purport.
Veṅkaṭa Bhaṭṭa addressed the Lord as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa Himself. The Lord knows the meaning of His activities and can enlighten others about His pastimes.
Kṛṣṇa and His pastimes cannot be understood by blunt material senses. The senses must be purified through transcendental loving service unto Him.
When the Lord is pleased and reveals Himself, one can understand His transcendental name, form, qualities and pastimes.
