TRANSLATION
The pure devotional service in Vṛndāvana is like the golden particles in the river Jāmbū. In Vṛndāvana there is not a trace of personal sense gratification. It is to advertise such pure love in this material world that Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu has written the previous verse and explained its meaning.
PURPORT
The verse referred to here is text 47, the eighth verse of the Śikṣāṣṭaka.
