Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu .2.39
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
There is a similar prayer by the nāga-patnīs (wives of the Kāliya serpent), in the Tenth Canto of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Sixteenth Chapter, verse 37. The nāga-patnīs say there, “Dear Lord, the dust of Your lotus feet is very wonderful. Any person who is fortunate enough to achieve this dust does not care for heavenly planets, lordship over all the planetary systems, the mystic perfections of yoga, or even liberation from material existence. In other words, anyone who adores the dust of Your lotus feet does not care a fig for all other perfectional stages.”
They do not desire Dhruva-loka what to speak of a worldly kingdom, or the planet of Brahmā, or the lower planets. The verb is linked to the first part of the verse. The word vā is used for api. They do not even desire liberation. “Those surrendered to the dust of Your feet” indicates profound surrender, showing persons with an excellent type of bhakti.
