brahmaṇyasya paraṁ daivaṁ
brahmaṇyasya paraṁ daivaṁ
brāhmaṇāḥ kila te prabho
viprāṇāṁ deva-devānāṁ
bhagavān ātma-daivatam
O Lord! The brāhmaṇas are the supreme deity only because you are fond of brāhmaṇas. You are the supreme deity of the brāhmaṇas, who are worshipped by the devatās.
In this verse the Kumāras explain how it is hard to understand the Lord’s words. Only because you are fond of brāhmaṇas do the brāhmaṇas have a high position. They do not have that position naturally. The brāhmaṇas are worshipped by the devatās (deva-devānām), but you are Bhagavān. By nature (ātma-daivatam) you are in a high position. You are actually in the position of the Lord, not the brāhmaṇas. Ātma-daivatam also means without you they are simply dead. So what is the meaning of saying that without service to them your foot dust has no power?

tvattaḥ sanātano dharmo
rakṣyate tanubhis tava
dharmasya paramo guhyo
nirvikāro bhavān mataḥ
The eternal dharma, bhakti, arising from you, is protected by your body in the form of the devotees, not the brāhmaṇas. We consider you to be the end result of dharma, the secret, who undergo no change.
People become respectable only by following rules of dharma. Dharma is characterized by bhakti, not by steadiness in varṇāśrama. Devotees institute that dharma. Thus the devotees are superior to the brāhmaṇas. That is expressed in this verse. The sanātana-dharma known as bhakti has arisen from you. Dṛṣṭiḥ satāṁ darśane ’stu bhavat-tanūnām: may our eyes see the forms of Vaiṣṇavas, who are non-different from you. (SB 10.10.38) Since the devotees are non-different from you, dharma is protected by your body in the form of the devotees, since they engage in bhakti everywhere. You are the final fruit of dharma, not temporary attainments such as Svarga. You are without change (nirvikāraḥ bhavān). Attaining you is the result of bhakti to you. Other dharmas should not be explained by the words sanātana and nirvikāra.
