If Kṛṣṇa is merciful to someone previously fixed in jñāna, that śānta-bhakta then becomes elevated in rati for Kṛṣṇa.

Commentary

This verse speaks of the most excellent quality of Kṛṣṇa, the son of Nanda--His extraordinary mercy. Udvahet means he will attain greater (ucchaiḥ vahet) rati for Kṛṣṇa, the son of Nanda. Surpassing the śānta-rati which he is actually qualified for, he will experience a superior rati.
