TEXT 111
- avatāra-gaṇera bhakta-bhāve adhikāra
- bhakta-bhāva haite adhika sukha nāhi āra
SYNONYMS
avatāra-gaṇera—of all the incarnations; bhakta-bhāve—in the emotion of a devotee; adhikāra—there is the right; bhakta-bhāva—the emotion of being a devotee; haite—than; adhika—greater; sukha—happiness; nāhi—not; āra—any other.
TRANSLATION
All the incarnations are entitled to the emotions of devotees. There is no higher bliss than this.
PURPORT
All the different incarnations of Lord Viṣṇu have the right to play the roles of servitors of Lord Kṛṣṇa by descending as devotees. When an incarnation gives up the understanding of His Godhood and plays the part of a servitor, He enjoys a greater transcendental mellow taste than when He plays the part of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
