Madhya-līlā, Chapter 24, Text 91

বুদ্ধিমান্-অর্থে — যদি ‘বিচারজ্ঞ’ হয় ।
নিজ-কাম লাগিহ তবে কৃষ্ণেরে ভজয় ॥ ৯১ ॥

buddhimān-arthe — yadi ‘vicāra-jña’ haya
nija-kāma lāgiha tabe kṛṣṇere bhajaya

Word by word

buddhimān-arthe — by the meaning of intelligent; yadi — if; vicāra-jña — expert in scrutinizing things; haya — is; nija-kāma lāgiha — even for sense gratification; tabe — then; kṛṣṇere bhajana — worships Lord Kṛṣṇa.

Translation

“The meaning of the word ‘udāra-dhī’ is buddhimān — intelligent or considerate. Because of this, even for one’s own sense gratification one engages in the devotional service of Lord Kṛṣṇa.”
