TRANSLATION
All transcendentalists, therefore, certainly render devotional service to Lord Krishna the Personality of Godhead with great delight and from time immemorial because such devotional service is enlivening to the self.
PURPORT
Speciality of devotional service unto the Personality of Godhead Lord Sri Krishna is specifically mentioned herewith. Lord Sri Krishna is the Sayamrupa Personality of Godhead and all other forms of Godhead beginning from Sri Valadeva, Samkarshan, Vasudeva, Aniruddha, Pradyumna, Narayana, Purasha Avatars, Guna Avataras, Leela Avatars, Yuga Avatars and many other thousands manifestations of the Personality of Godhead are Lord Sri Krishna's plenary portions and integrated Parts. The living entities are separated parts and parcels of the Personality of Godhead. Therefore Lord Sri Krishna is the original form of Godhead and He is the last word in the Transcendence. As such He is more attractive to the higher transedentalists who participate in the eternal pastimes of the Lord. In other Forms of the Personality of Godhead except Sri Krishna and Valadeva there is no facility for intimate personal contact as they are displayed in transcendental pastimes of the Lord at Brajabhumi. The transcendental pastimes of Lord Sri Krishna is not newly accepted as it is argued by some less intelligent persons but His pastimes are eternal which is manifested in due course once is a day of Brahmaji as the sun rises on the Eastern horizen at the end of every 24 twenty four hours.
