bhakti-yogena bhūyasā
bhakti-yogena bhūyasā
taṁ nirantara-bhāvena
bhajetāddhā vimuktaye
While being completely detached from enjoyment of the senses and liberation, one must worship the Lord constantly with profuse bhakti at the stage of bhāva to attain the position of an associate of the Lord in prema.
He who is detached from artha, dharma, kāma, and liberation (indicated by the word ca), must constantly worship the Lord, devoid of obstacles of jñāna and karma, with bhāva such as dāsya in order to attain special liberation (vimuktaye), being an associate of the Lord with prema.
|| 4.8.62 ||
ity uktas taṁ parikramya
praṇamya ca nṛpārbhakaḥ
yayau madhuvanaṁ puṇyaṁ
hareś caraṇa-carcitam
Thus being taught, Dhruva circumambulated Nārada and offered respects. He then went to pure Madhuvana marked with the footprints of Kṛṣṇa.
Because Kṛṣṇa appears in every day of Brahmā, Madhuvana is marked with his footprints from the previous day. (In the day of Brahmā Kṛṣṇa appeared after Dhruva.)
|| 4.8.63 ||
tapo-vanaṁ gate tasmin
praviṣṭo 'ntaḥ-puraṁ muniḥ
arhitārhaṇako rājñā
sukhāsīna uvāca tam
When Dhruva had gone to Tapovana, Nārada entered the inner chambers of the palace. Being suitably worshipped by the King, seated comfortably, he then spoke to the King.
Arhitārhaṇakaḥ means he was offered articles of worship (arhaṇa) like arghya as welcome (arhita).
|| 4.8.64 ||
nārada uvāca
rājan kiṁ dhyāyase dīrghaṁ
mukhena pariśuṣyatā
kiṁ vā na riṣyate kāmo
dharmo vārthena saṁyutaḥ
Nārada said: O King! Since your face is withered, have you been contemplating for a long time? Or have you lost kāma and dharma along with artha?
Have kāma and dharma been lost or not? It is a question of conjecture.
