niśamya karmāṇi guṇān atulyān
vīryāṇi līlā-tanubhiḥ kṛtāni
yadātiharṣotpulakāśru-gadgadaṁ
protkaṇṭha udgāyati rauti nṛtyati
When the devotee, on hearing about the incomparable qualities, activities and heroic feats performed by the avatāras, becomes choked up, with tears in his eyes and hairs standing on end in joy, and sings, shouts and dances, he achieves the Lord.
The symptoms of rati are described. Actions are stealing milk and yogurt. Qualities are things like affection for the devotee. Heroic acts are actions such as lifting Govardhana and killing Kaṁsa.

yadā graha-grasta iva kvacid dhasaty
ākrandate dhyāyati vandate janam
muhuḥ śvasan vakti hare jagat-pate
nārāyaṇety ātma-matir gata-trapaḥ
When he laughs as if haunted by a ghost, wails, meditates, offers respects to others, breathes heavily at all times, becomes absorbed in contemplation by the mind, and without shame, says only “O Lord! Master of the universe! Nārāyaṇa!” he attains the Lord.
He speaks by saying “O Lord! Master of the universe! Nārāyaṇa!” He contemplates by the mind (ātmā-matiḥ).

tadā pumān mukta-samasta-bandhanas
tad-bhāva-bhāvānukṛtāśayākṛtiḥ
nirdagdha-bījānuśayo mahīyasā
bhakti-prayogeṇa samety adhokṣajam
By those methods, that person, liberated from all bondage, with mind and body acting for and thinking of the Lord, having already burned up the seed of desire, achieves the Supreme Lord by rāga-bhakti.
At this time his mind and body (āśayā ākrṭiḥ) conform to his contemplation (bhāva) of his particular relation (bhāva), thinking “I am his servant” or “I am his friend.” One should not worry that the body still remains in saṁsāra. Previously, the seed of material intelligence and the impressions of sense objects (anuśayaḥ) have been destroyed. He attains a meeting (sam) with the Lord by ṛaga-mārga-bhakti (mahīyaṣa).
