prati-dina—daily; rāya—Rāmānanda Rāya; aiche—in this way; karāya sādhana—teaches regularly; kon jāne—who can know; kṣudra jīva—an insignificant living entity; kāṅhā—where; tāṅra—his; mana—mind.
TRANSLATION
Every day he trained the two deva-dāsīs how to dance. Who among the small living entities, their minds always absorbed in material sense gratification, could understand the mentality of Śrī Rāmānanda Rāya?
PURPORT
Rāmānanda Rāya’s service to the gopīs for the satisfaction of Kṛṣṇa is purely an affair of the spiritual world. Unless one is fully situated in the spiritual atmosphere, the activities of Rāmānanda Rāya are most difficult to understand.
