Antya-līlā, Chapter 7, Text 30

শুদ্ধভাবে সখা করে স্কন্ধে আরোহণ ।
শুদ্ধভাবে ব্রজেশ্বরী করেন বন্ধন ॥ ৩০ ॥

śuddha-bhāve sakhā kare skandhe ārohaṇa
śuddha-bhāve vrajeśvarī karena bandhana

Word by word

śuddha-bhāve — in pure Kṛṣṇa consciousness; sakhā — friend; kare — does; skandhe — on the shoulder; ārohaṇa — rising; śuddha-bhāve — in pure Kṛṣṇa consciousness; vraja-īśvarī — the Queen of Vraja; karena bandhana — binds.

Translation

“In pure Kṛṣṇa consciousness, a friend mounts the shoulder of Kṛṣṇa, and mother Yaśodā binds the Lord.”

Purport

Śuddha-bhāva, pure Kṛṣṇa consciousness, is not dependent on an understanding of the Lord’s opulences. Even without such opulences, the devotee in śuddha-bhāva is inclined to love Kṛṣṇa as a friend or son.
