martyas tan-mayatām iyāt

iti me niścitā matiḥ
By devotional service one cannot achieve such intense absorption in thought of the Supreme Lord as one can through enmity toward him. That is my opinion.
There is immeasurable glory of a great criticizer in part, because of absorbing his mind through enmity. By continuous enmity, a person who knows that the Lord will kill him (martyaḥ), and no other person, achieves complete absorption in the Lord (tan-mayatām) and nothing else, just as a lusty man always thinks of a woman. One does not become absorbed so quickly by bhakti-yoga. The word “quickly” should be added to the verse. I have discerned this. One does not have to ask for other proof. If an envious mind is greater than bhakti in causing absorption in the Lord, what can be said of bhakti-yoga which has absorption of mind in the Lord! Previously Parīkṣit has said that he was surprised that their tongues were not attacked by white leprosy, and that they did not enter the darkest region of hellish life.
You criticized continuous enmity thinking that such practice was not desirable in Śiśupāla and others, whereas I have praised it more than bhakti, which is the best of all practices. Why? Assuming that Śiśupāla and others will have a hellish end, though their inimical attitude is criticized on the path of bhāva, it is praised more than the purifying power of bhakti in one aspect: its power to produce quick absorption in the Lord. But then how much more will I praise the parental affection of Vasudeva, the friendly relationships of others, what to speak of Nanda’s and others’ relationships, which are respected on the path of bhāva, and which cause extreme absorption in the Lord at every moment! This is hinted at. Rāgānuga-bhakti of recent practitioners, desiring parental and other bhāvas following after Nanda and others, excels even vaidhi-bhakti. This is another hint.
