na — not; yatra — wherever; śravaṇa-ādīni — the activities of bhakti-yoga, beginning with hearing and chanting; rakṣaḥ-ghnāni — the sound vibration to kill all danger and bad elements; sva-karmasu — if one is engaged in his own occupational duty; kurvanti — such things are done; sātvatām bhartuḥ — of the protector of the devotees; yātudhānyaḥ — disturbing elements, bad elements; ca — also; tatra hi — there must be.
Translation
My dear King, wherever people in any position perform their occupational duties of devotional service by chanting and hearing [śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ], there cannot be any danger from bad elements. Therefore there was no need for anxiety about Gokula while the Supreme Personality of Godhead was personally present.
