Translation

Śukadeva Gosvāmī continued: My dear King, the Supreme Person, Mukunda, is actually the maintainer of all the members of the Pāṇḍava and Yadu dynasties. He is your spiritual master, worshipable Deity, friend, and the director of your activities. To say nothing of this, He sometimes serves your family as a messenger or servant. This means He worked just as ordinary servants do. Those engaged in getting the Lord’s favor attain liberation from the Lord very easily, but He does not very easily give the opportunity to render direct service unto Him.

राजन् पतिर्गुरुरलं भवतां यदूनां दैवं प्रिय: कुलपति: क्‍व च किङ्करो व:। अस्त्वेवमङ्ग भगवान् भजतां मुकुन्दो मुक्तिं ददाति कर्हिचित्स्म न भक्तियोगम्॥ १८

हिन्दी टीका-पाठ

राजन्! भगवान् श्रीकृष्ण स्वयं पाण्डवलोगोंके और यदुवंशियोंके रक्षक, गुरु, इष्टदेव, सुहृद‍् और कुलपति थे; यहाँतक कि वे कभी-कभी आज्ञाकारी सेवक भी बन जाते थे। इसी प्रकार भगवान् दूसरे भक्तोंके भी अनेकों कार्य कर सकते हैं और उन्हें मुक्ति भी दे देते हैं, परन्तु मुक्तिसे भी बढ़कर जो भक्तियोग है, उसे सहजमें नहीं देते॥ १८॥
